Radiant Heat for Snow Melting

October 27, 2010 00:10 AM  BY  LAURA CARTER

While radiant heated driveways are viewed as a relatively modern convenience, you might be surprised to know that radiant heat has been around since antiquity. The Romans actually utilized raised-slab floors and an exterior wood fired furnace to heat their villas. As hot gases from the furnace would enter the house below floor level, they were naturally drawn through the floors up and out of the walls, radiating heat along the way.

Driveway Snow Melting Cable

April 19, 2010 00:04 AM  BY  BENSON RICKS

Heated driveway systems include an aerial or pavement mounted snow sensor that detects the impending snow barrage and signals the control unit, which then sends power to the ClearZone cable, heating the driveway. After the storm, the driveway remains warm for a period of time, ensuring that it is clear of ice before it automatically shuts off.

Carwash Owners - Protect Yourself and Your Business by Installing a Radiant Heat Snow and Ice Melting System

March 02, 2008 00:03 AM  BY  WARMZONE

Protecting your car wash against the liability of slips and falls is becoming an increasing concern for business owners with car washes in cold climates. If you are in an area that receives heavy precipitation, keeping up with snow and ice removal means constant maintenance. Even the overspray from a car wash can create dangerous walking areas in and around each bay.

Radiant Heat for the Car Wash Industry

October 20, 2007 00:10 AM  BY  WARMZONE

Why do car washes need radiant heat?

Radiant heating systems have gained acceptance in homes as an alternative to forced air systems. Radiant heat is typically installed under the floor and designed to transfer its heat through the floor which conveniently takes the bite out of hard surfaces like tile and marble.  Now, the same concept for interior radiant heating is being applied at higher temperatures to exterior applications as a way to remove snow and ice.

Outdoor Radiant Heating Systems

October 05, 2007 00:10 AM  BY  WARMZONE

Following the trends of the indoor heating market, where radiant heating systems have been used for decades, the great outdoors is warming up, too. Radiant heat warms the floor and any object in contact with the floor to distribute an even, no-draft heat. Outdoor settings like patios or pathways leading to a hot tub can now benefit from using a traditional hydronic radiant heating system or even more intriguing is the emerging trend of embedding electric heating cables to provide that desired surface temperature.
