Heat Mat specified a driveway heating system to provide safe access to a property near Oldham, Greater Manchester.
The driveway of the house is incredibly steep and poses a serious danger in winter when the owner’s car often slides on ice down to the main road below.
To enable safe access and prevent the owner’s vehicle losing grip, two tyre tracks at the edges of the driveway were fitted with exterior heating cable to heat the only access route in snow or icy conditions.
Heat Mat specified a 7mm exterior cable accompanied by a ground moisture senor and 47Amp thermostat for temperature control.
The cable was attached to reinforced construction mesh using robust cable ties, before being covered with sand. The driveway was finished with decorative paving blocks.
