Project Information

A snow melting system was installed on a 2’ x 10’ front porch in Parma Heights, OH, to eliminate slippery ice buildup and improve winter safety. Using a WarmlyYours snow melting mat paired with a simple manual timer, the homeowner created a safer, low-maintenance entryway without the hassle of salt or shoveling. The mat was easily customized to fit the space by trimming the mesh—not the heating wires—for a clean, precise installation.

“The WarmlyYours works great. A great plus is the ability to conform the mat to the area by trimming the plastic mesh (not heating wires!) And yes, I can pick up the morning newspaper in my bare feet!!”
— Bert R. Tomon, Parma Heights, OHIO
