Driveway & Walkway Snow Melting
Warmup systems are ideal to provide snow-free access to the house and prevent injuries on stairs and walkways. They are commonly used in concrete pours, asphalt driveways and paved walkways.
Choose from pre-sized snow melting mats that are installed within concrete, asphalt, or pavers. For a custom layout, snow melting cables are ideal.
For Concrete/Asphalt
Warmup snow melting mats can be installed directly on an existing concrete or asphalt surface before an additional 2” pour or can be laid on a drained gravel base before a new pour. For an asphalt installation Warmup does recommend hand rolling the surface. During installation it is important not to use equipment over 1 ton.
For under pavers
Heated walkway pavers offer the best of both worlds: style and function. During a typical paver installation snow melting mats or cables are laid on a drained gravel base followed by a layer of sand or fine gravel. This layer should be at least 1”. Once this is done, the pavers can be laid.
For sidewalks, narrow pathways, and curved paths, or any custom layout, use heated cables for customized spacing under concrete, pavers and asphalt pours.
snow melting controls
A Warmup electric heated driveway system wired to a controller is designed operate automatically. As it monitors moisture, temperature, and precipitation, the controller will turn the system on to heat the surface just above freezing. Wi-Fi systems are also available and activates based on the weather forecast, so it can preheat the slab before snowfall. Large commercial controls with GFEP protection are also available. Contact us for a detailed proposal.
DS series
The DS Series, offering 1 or 2 x 30 amp contactors, is useful when you are heating small or several areas like; your driveway, walkway, stairs and can even be combined with your roof and gutter system. With a built-in moisture and temperature sensor, these controls activate only when necessary.
WSM-63
The WSM-63 offers both manual and optional sensor operation of your snow melting system. With a capacity of up to 252A (up to 1,500 sqft of snow melting) is suited for both residential and commercial environments. The simple ‘on/off’ button allows you to trigger the system manually. But it can be paired with an DS-2C sensor to operate automatically.
Warmup also has many controllers suitable for larger installations and commercial applications. Our Commbox-600 features 4x 50 amp contactors in a plug and play format to accommodate large projects while also keeping them simple.
