Paver driveways can significantly boost curb appeal as well as the value of your home. To further add value to your home — as well as safety and convenience — a radiant snow melting system can be easily installed under your paver driveway or walks. The systems can be customized to best meet your layout options as well as your budget.
There are many brick and stone paver styles and attractive designer patterns that can be installed in a variety of applications. A radiant snow melting system can add functionality to the stunning looks of paver driveways and sidewalks, as well as add safety. Electric heating cables are the most popular and effective solution for keeping paver driveways free of snow and ice, and can be installed under permeable or impervious paver surfaces. Hydronic (water-based) systems can also be used to keep areas clear of snow and ice. The PEX tubing of a hydronic system is embedded in the paver dust much like electric heating cable. A series of pumps then circulates heated water through the tubing.
WarmTrax® portable heating mats are also a viable option for keeping areas clear and safe during the winter months. The heated traction mats feature a rugged design and are available for heating sidewalks, ramps, steps, and more. This affordable option allows homeowners to keep specific walkways snow and ice free without the cost of installing an embedded snow melting system.

Water-based Systems for Heated Driveways
Hydronic snow melting systems are often used for large paver driveway heating projects and commercial snow melting applications because of the potential for lower operating costs. Special PEX tubing is embedded in the sand base and the pavers are heated by warm water circulated throughout the closed loop of tubing by pumps to melt snow and ice.

The ClearZone driveway heating system is the most common solution used under brick and stone paver driveways and walks. The heat cable is laid out in the bedding material of the driveway, and then another layer of paver dust is applied and the stone pavers are then placed directly on top of the sand and heat cable. The cable produces enough heat to warm the brick or stone and prevent snow from accumulating.

Warmzone snow melting systems are backed by the industry's most comprehensive customer support services. These preeminent services include free installation training, technical support, and professional system design and layout services. Training courses can be completed online with an instructor via Webex, and usually take less than an hour, but the installer can proceed as his or her own pace and stop to ask the instructor questions at any time.

That's why Warmzone houses a staff of technical experts who are happy to field your calls and walk you through any issues and answer any questions you may have.
