EasyHeat® Sno*Melter® Cable Kit Keeps Walkways Clear of Ice and Snow



Versatile, off-the-shelf cable system is easily customized to install in cement or under pavers, helping businesses comply with ADA requirements



ROSEMONT, IL – New Sno*Melter® Cable Kits from EasyHeat® are simple to install, energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly, offering safe, reliable snow melting throughout the winter months in driveways, sidewalks, patios and stairs.



"With our new Sno*Melter Cable Kits, there is no need to shovel, snow-blow or spread chemicals ever again," said Romy Sheynis, Product Marketing Manager for EasyHeat. "Contractors will appreciate the ability to do custom installations with an off-the-shelf product, while business and homeowners will benefit from safer walkways, lower insurance rates and ADA compliance."



EFFECTIVE WINTER PROTECTION

In stock and available for immediate shipment, the dual-element, fixed-resistance cables are UL Listed and CSA Certified, and provide the simplest and safest method of winter protection for your home or business. When combined with an EasyHeat controller (sold separately), Sno*Melter Cable Kits are extremely cost effective and eliminate the expensive, labor-intensive hassles of snow removal by automatically maintaining a surface temperature above freezing.



SIMPLE SELECTION / EASY INSTALLATION

Cable selection is easy - all you need to know is the amount of surface area that is to be cleared of snow. EasyHeat Sno*Melter Cable Kits are available in sizes that cover from 10 to 100 square feet with just a single cable, and can easily be configured to fit unique walk, stair, patio and driveway shapes. To accommodate larger commercial jobs, multiple cable kits can easily be combined to cover more substantial areas.



Once the kit is selected, the contractor simply attaches the Sno*Melter cable to welded-wire mesh or rebar with the included twist ties, hard wires the single-end cold lead to a standard 208V or 240V power source, and finishes pouring or laying the surface material. The installation is complete by including an EasyHeat self-contained controller that begins the heating process whenever moisture is present and the temperature drops below 38°F.



PREVENTS ACCIDENTS, COMPLIES WITH ADA

Ice, snow and sleet make staying on two feet a challenge for people of any age.

The best way to avoid winter slip-and-fall accidents is to remove the ice and snow by installing EasyHeat Sno*Melter Cable Kits. It also helps reduce the costs of liability insurance and helps businesses comply with the sidewalk / surface design and maintenance guidelines of the Americans With Disabilities Act (sec 3.2.4.3).
