Driveway, Ramp and Walkway Heating - Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is driveway & ramp heating?

Driveway & Ramp heating is the same system that would be installed with underfloor heating within your property, but it is laid underneath the tarmac/pathway and helps to protect with frost and ice.

 

What are the benefits of driveway & ramp heating?

Driveway & ramp heating provides health & safety benefits for your standard home and also commercial properties where you have a liability for persons accessing your property.

Frost and ice will be melted away by the unseen system therefore removing the risk of slipping over and vehicle skidding during the winter months.

This system can also reduce the damage to asphalt and concrete roads & pathways.

 

How does the system work?

The system can be designed so that a number of sensors and timers are installed, and only operate when the outside temperatures fall below a pre-set level.

 

Is there much maintenance on this system?

No, this is a maintenance free system. Once the system Is installed there is no need for any maintenance work, some systems can include an automatic alarm to indicate a problem with the system.

 

Do I need to heat my whole driveway?

No, this system can be designed to meet your requirements. You can heat anything from a whole driveway to single or double tyre tracks.
