subject: How To Reduce Shoveling Walkways This Winter [print this page] Wouldnt it be amazing if you never had to worry about a frozen walkway, or slippery stairs in the winter? Never having to shovel those tedious little areas because they wont freeze over or even let snow rest on them? Well now you can get heated mats thatll fit nearly any area and they will melt your snow worries away. They can be connected together and can be made however long you want them to be.
The specific types of heated mats available are:
Heated Door mat
Heated Footrest
Commercial Heated Stairway Mats
Residential Heated Stairway Mats
Commercial Heated Walkways
Some differences between commercial and residential mats: The industrial mats are made from a much more durable rubber, making them capable of sustaining years with very high foot traffic. The residential sized mats are quite a bit small than the industrial mats, and the ones for stair ways are not quite as wide. For extra-long walk ways the residential mats can be daisy chained together whereas the industrial size mats generally come in sizes that are long enough for huge areas.
Each year during the cold Canadian winter, thousands of senior citizens have falls which in many cases become life threatening. These falls can be prevented by removing ice from stairs and walkways around their homes. The snow melting mats are very reliable for removing snow and ice all winter long. Heated mats are especially important for businesses as they can prevent lawsuits where slipping and falling is the problem. These magic snow melting mats can also save time and money spent on shoveling. On a blizzardous snowy day you could have to shovel over fifteen times in a nine hour day. Time that could otherwise be spent inside assisting customers or turning your business into an empire.
Heated mats are super durable and are made to be left outside evening during the worst of weather, so no need to worry about wrapping them up and bringing them in even if theres a blizzard. Up to 15 stair mats can be plugged into a single outlet. The mats get to approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit above the ambient temperature, so if its 0 degrees Fahrenheit the mats will heat to about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The 2010/2011 winter in Canada was extremely cold with record snow falls. Vancouver, the warmest city in Canada which had a very mild 2009/2010 winter (unfortunately for the Olympics) has seen temperatures in the -10 degree Celsius range and is forecasted to reach much lower temperatures this coming winter.
