- Hydronic snowmelting is a system where PEXa pipes are buried in concrete, asphalt or under pavers, circulating a warm water/glycol mix through it, warming the surface thus melting the snow/ice on the surface
- By melting snow and ice with a warm surface, these systems create water as runoff (no salt or chemicals), and will not impact nearby water sheds
- The system can be designed utilizing an automatic control strategy that will sense snow fall and surface temperatures and automatically turn the system on and off as needed in order to save energy
- The MrPEX® Barrier PEX-a tubing has proven durability at the highest level and comes with a 30 year warranty
- These systems create a safe no-slip surface for elderly or handicapped people, easier access, reducing liability of someone getting hurt from falling and injuring themselves
Have you ever been to a hospital when it has been snowing and noticed that there typically isn’t any snow or ice in front of the doors? Most hospitals have snowmelt in the entrances to reduce the chance of patients and visitors slipping and/or falling. There are many reasons for wanting or needing to install a snowmelt system. In most cases there are several features or benefits taken into consideration when making that decision.
