Snow Melting Accessories Description

This USA-made embeddable attachment grid is for installing snow melting cables under pavers or on top of existing concrete surfaces such as stairs, walkways, or driveways. The primary use of this snow melting grid is to provide a framework to attach the snow melting cables to—typically with cable ties (sold separately). This allows for you to maintain proper spacing between the heating elements which will prevent overheating or "cold spots". Another benefit is that it allows you to control the depth of the heating elements to ensure optimal performance. 

In addition to being embedded under pavers or on top of existing concrete surfaces, this product can be embedded under bluestone or under tiles with thinset. Please note that this product should not be used with snow melting mats or in projects involving asphalt or a new concrete pour. 

This product comes as a 3' x 50' with a 1" x 1" square grid that allows for quick cable installation. The grid can also be cut in the field to accommodate different shapes. 

This snow melt grid is composed of high-molecular weight, high-tenacity multi-filament polyester yarns that are woven into a stable network placed under tension and coated with PVC. Product has an additional benefit like bi-directional expansion strength that is commonly used by landscaping and paving contractors.

May I cross or overlap the WarmlyYours snow melt heating cable?

When installing outdoor WarmlyYours snow melting cables for your driveway, patio, walkway, terrace, stairs, ramp, etc. - NEVER cross, overlap, or allow the heating cables to touch each other. Doing so will quickly cause a circuit failure due to excessive heat build up. Always follow the installation instructions and/or design layout plan to ensure the cable is installed with the correct spacing required for proper operation.

Why a GFEP breaker and not a GFCI breaker for WarmlyYours outdoor deicing and snow melting systems?

This National Electric Code (NEC) required protection for fixed outdoor deicing and snow-melting equipment may be accomplished by using circuit breakers equipped with ground-fault equipment protection (GFEP) of 30 mA. It is important to understand that this required equipment protection is not the same as a 5 mA GFCI used for personal protection.

Is there a specific way to install the grid?

Yes, it is important to ensure the grid is stretched taut in the same direction as the snow melting cable.
Did you find this helpful? Yes No

Could this be installed on top of existing concrete?

Yes. After the snow melting cable is installed, ensure that a minimum of 1.5" (Max 3") of non-combustible medium (concrete, mortar, stone) is placed on top.
Did you find this helpful? Yes No

Could this be used to install onto an outdoor staircase prior to installing tile or stone?

Yes, your contractor would need to remove the existing tiles (if present) from the staircase and flatten the surface prior to installing the grid.
