Installing Radiant Snow Melting Systems
Warmzone snow
melting systems can be installed to
provide radiant heating for almost any driveway.
The ClearZone under-pavement snowmelt
systems feature an extremely durable design
and can even be installed in new asphalt
driveways and walkways. Without
sacrificing performance, ClearZone radiant heating
cables and mats are incredibly easy to
install compared to other snow melting
and radiant heat systems on the market.
Warmzone carries both low- and line-voltage
electric snow melting systems. The
line-voltage, Warmzone ClearZone system produces
30+ watts per square foot and provides
maintenance-free radiant heat to your
driveway and carries a 10-year manufacturer
warranty.
All Warmzone ClearZone systems require a
control unit that sends power to the heating
cable. A certified electrician is required to hook
up power to the control unit, but the rest
of the automated driveway heating
system can be installed by any contractor. Cold
leads are wired to the control unit and then run to
the location of the radiant heating cable.
The cold leads are spliced to the heating cable,
and the cable is laid out over the driveway or
walkway to be heated. (Cold leads come
pre-spliced.)
ClearZone Snow Melting Systems Include:
Concrete New Pour
Concrete is just one
application for the Warmzone ClearZone
radiant snow melting system. The system
is designed to produce a
minimum of 30 watts per square foot. The
cable is secured to the
re-mesh with wire ties at intervals of
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
radiant heating system is virtually
maintenance free. The heated driveway system
has no external moving
parts making it an excellent, durable
solution for all snow and
ice melting applications.

Asphalt New
Because of the ClearZone
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 heating 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
ClearZone cable can be secured on top of
the insulation.

Asphalt Driveway Repaving
This system is also unique
because it is not limited to
installation in new driveways. If you
are repaving your existing
asphalt driveway, then you're in luck.
The ClearZone
cable needs only to be embedded in a
½-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 Warmzone ClearZone system is
the easiest system to
install and provides the best
performance for heating asphalt
driveways.

Brick Paver Installation
Installing a snowmelt
system under brick pavers is the
easiest method of installation, 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
Warmzone snowmelt system
can be installed easily under any type
of pavers. Because the
radiant heating cable has been
rigorously tested and approved
for wet conditions, moisture can come in
contact with the cable and
not affect its performance.
