Complete Snow Melting Coverage

Install ClearZone™ heating cable under the surface of the entire driveway. This ensures that all of the parking area and driveway surfaces where there will be foot traffic remains completely clear of snow and ice during the snow season.

Heating entire driveway and parking areas can also be accomplished with limited power. The system alternates power to different "zones" of the driveway to heat a large area with minimal power demands. Call a driveway heating expert today to learn more about "zoning" your heated driveway (888.488.9276).

Heat two 24-inch wide Tire Tracks

Roll out the ClearZone snow melting mats to warm two 24-inch-wide tire tracks the length of the driveway. This is a popular, affordable alternative for those looking to install a heated driveway but prefer to minimize costs, or don't have the necessary power to heat the entire driveway. However, when power is limited, it is possible to "zone" the system so different areas (zones) of the driveway are heated separately. To learn more about heating large areas with minimal power (and zoning), call 888.488.9276 to speak with a radiant heat expert.

Heat the Center Strip of the Driveway

If you're looking strictly for functionality to simply get in and out of your driveway during the cold winter months – or want to reduce the amount of power needed for the system, installing snow melting heat cable in a narrow strip (typically 8-10 feet) to warm the center of the driveway may be your ideal solution. The heat cable can be easily customized to heat the specific areas that you want. (Keep in mind that systems can also be designed to accommodate limited available power. Systems can be "zoned", whereby the power "pulses" between the sections of the driveway, allowing a greater area to be heated with the same amount of power.)

Heat Driveway Inclines and Select Areas

Some driveways are built on hills, creating dangerous conditions during the winter months. To keep costs at a minimum while enhancing safety, homeowners have the option of heating only the trouble spots of the driveway. For example, only heat the area where the driveway is inclined or where there are sharp turns or areas that are shaded during sunny days after a storm. You also have the option to heat specific areas that frequently receive foot traffic (such as a path to and from the car or garbage bins). Radiant heat is particularly ideal for keeping steep driveways safe, as well as sidewalks, ramps and steps free of slick snow and ice.

Custom Heat Other Outdoor Areas - Not just Driveways

One reason why radiant heat is becoming so popular is because the snow melting systems are so easy to customize. A popular application is that of keeping steps and patios clear of snow as well as providing warmth for animals. Radiant heat can be installed for dog runs, kennels, and even to keep water from freezing in troughs. The applications for radiant heat are limited only by one's imagination.
