Snow Melting Installation and Applications

Concrete is another great application for the 123 Remodeling snow melting system. The system is designed to produce a minimum of 30 watts per square foot. The cable is secured to the remesh with wire ties and spaced at 3-6". The heating cable can be laid out to heat any size or shape of driveway, sidewalk, parking lot, or patio. This system is the perfect fit for residential and commercial applications. Once installed, the system is practically maintenance free. The 100% automated system with no moving parts makes it an excellent solution for all snow and ice melting applications.

Because of the heating cable's high quality and durable makeup, it can withstand the heat and compression of newly poured asphalt. The cable is laid out on the base surface (usually sand), and the asphalt is hand shoveled onto the cable and base surface.

Insulation is always recommended, but not required. One inch rigid insulation can be installed underneath the base surface, or it can be laid on the base surface and the cable can be secured on top of the insulation.

This system is also unique because it isn't limited to being installed in new driveways. If you have an existing asphalt driveway and will be repaving your driveway, then you're in luck. The heating cable only needs to be embedded in a half inch of asphalt. The cable is secured to the existing asphalt with clips and nails, then the new asphalt is hand shoveled on to the existing driveway and cable. The 123 Remodeling radiant heat system is the easiest system to install and provides the best performance for heating asphalt driveways.

Installing a snow melting system under brick pavers is the easiest installation method, and cable heating systems are the most effective systems for pavers. The cable is simply laid out on the base surface over the area to be heated, and the pavers are installed as normal over the cables. The 123 Remodeling system can be installed easily under any type of pavers. Because the cable has been tested and approved for wet conditions, moisture can come in contact with the cable and not affect its performance.

The Benefits of Snow Melting

The 123 Remodeling radiant snow melting system uses a line-voltage cable that can be installed in almost every type of snow melting project, including new pour asphalt. No other snowmelt system can be installed in fresh asphalt. Because of 123 Remodeling heat cable's rugged construction, it can withstand the heat and compression of newly poured asphalt.

This high quality product provides the luxury of an automated driveway heating system at an affordable price, and is great for both residential and commercial projects. There are several advantages of this system over other snow melting systems, which are outlined below.
