Snow-Melting Cables or Mats

Snow and ice are a major problem for both residential and commercial buildings, but simple, roof-customizable heating cables are a viable option for combating potential ice and frost damage.

Snow-Melting Cables or Mats

EHT Engineering offers snow and ice melting cables and mats.

Smart heating solutions for safe buildings and uninterrupted operation in winter conditions.

During winter months, snow and ice accumulation poses serious risks to both building safety and the flow of daily life. Snow and ice accumulating on roofs, gutters, ramps, walkways, and open areas can obstruct water drainage, damage structural elements due to freezing, and lead to dangerous situations such as slipping. At EHT Engineering, we offer safe, efficient, and sustainable solutions to these problems with our electric snow and ice melting cables and mats, available to both individual and corporate clients.

The Source of the Problem: Snow and Ice Accumulation

Ice accumulates on roofs and gutters as a result of snowfall, preventing water from draining away. This can:

  • Deterioration of roof insulation
  • Cracking or breaking of gutters
  • Risk of slipping at building entrances and ramps
  • Cancellation of games in sports fields
  • Operational disruptions in industrial areas

This can lead to various problems. EHT Engineering's snow and ice melting systems eliminate these risks, guaranteeing structural safety and business continuity.

System Components

Ice and snow melting systems are an integrated solution consisting of multiple components:

  • Heating cables: It converts electrical energy into heat and melts snow and ice.
  • Heated mattresses: It offers homogeneous heat distribution over large surface areas.
  • Sensors: It automatically activates the system by sensing ambient temperature, humidity, and the presence of snow.
  • Thermostats: It increases energy efficiency by controlling temperature.
  • Control panels: Provides manual or automatic system management
  • Mounting brackets and insulation materials: Ensures the cable and mat are securely mounted to the floor.

These components work together to activate the system before snow and ice form, preventing potential hazards.

Cable and Mat Types

At EHT Engineering, we offer two main product types to suit different needs:

1. Series Resistance Heating Cables

  • Provides constant power output
  • Produced in specific lengths, cutting is not recommended
  • Typically operates in the power range of 30–40 W/m
  • Suitable for concrete, asphalt and gutter applications.
  • It provides maximum efficiency when used in conjunction with a snow and ice detector.

2. Self-Regulating Heating Cables

  • Automatically adjusts power output according to ambient temperature
  • No risk of overheating
  • Provides energy savings
  • Can be cut to different lengths and is easy to install
  • It is especially preferred on sensitive surfaces.

3. Heating Mats

  • Ideal for large surface areas (sports fields, helipads, walkways)
  • It provides homogeneous heat distribution.
  • It offers the advantage of quick assembly and easy maintenance.
  • Its modular structure allows it to be adapted to different fields.

Each product type is selected specifically for the site and designed by our expert engineering team.

Application Areas

Snow and ice melting cables and mats can be used in a wide variety of fields:

  • Roofs and gutters
  • Garage ramps
  • Parking lot entrances and exits
  • Loading areas
  • Disabled access ramps
  • Building entrances and stairs
  • Pedestrian crossings and sidewalks
  • Sports fields and stadiums
  • Helicopter landing areas
  • Hospital and school entrance roads

These systems can be easily integrated into both new structures and existing floors.

Energy Efficiency and Smart Control

The systems offered by EHT Engineering save energy by activating only when needed. Sensors:

  • Ambient temperature
  • Humidity rate
  • Presence of snow and ice

It automatically runs the system by analyzing data such as:

  • Unnecessary energy consumption is prevented
  • System life is extended
  • Operating costs decrease
  • Environmental sustainability is ensured

Installation and Technical Support

At EHT Engineering, we offer turnkey services in snow and ice melting systems:

  • On-site discovery and needs analysis
