Then when it starts snowing, you can switch to 30 Volts. Since the surface is preheated, it will keep free of snow and ice. We recommend the elements to be installed over thermal insulation, and as near as possible to the surface. Wherever a thin, safe and strong flooring is required, you could use SR -HEAT embedded in a polymer floor. This system can be applied onto concrete, asphalt, stone, hardwood, plywood and metal.
New buildings designed in glass and steel have a tremendous problem with ice- clogged water drains.
An installation, far north of the arctic circle, solved their problem with our heating elements. For outdoor use, special precautions have to be taken to protect the wires and connectors of the elements to prevent a short-circuit and corrosion caused by humidity. See Exterior Wire Connection.
