If you live in a region prone to lake effect snow, you know how relentless and unpredictable winter storms can be. With snow accumulations piling up at astonishing rates, it’s crucial to have a reliable snow and ice management system in place. HeatTrak’s heated snow & ice melting mats are designed to tackle these challenges head-on, providing a convenient, effective, and efficient solution to keep pathways clear and safe.
Understanding Lake Effect Snow
Lake effect snow occurs when cold air moves over warmer lake waters, picking up moisture and depositing it as snow onshore. This process can result in intense snowfall rates, often exceeding several inches per hour, leading to treacherous conditions for businesses and homeowners alike. For those in the so-called "snowbelt," preparing for these weather events is a non-negotiable part of winter.
Enter HeatTrak: A Reliable Solution for Winter Snow Challenges
HeatTrak snow-melting mats are designed to melt snow at a rate of 2 inches (5 cm) per hour, ensuring your walkways, driveways, stairs, and ramps remain clear even during heavy snowfall. The mats work exceptionally well down to -5 degrees Fahrenheit and, depending on the type of surface, could perform in even lower temperatures, making them ideal for use on sidewalks, decks, and elevated surfaces like porches. With this performance, HeatTrak mats can keep up with most lake effect snow events, reducing the need for constant shoveling or salting.
Key Features That Make HeatTrak Stand Out
