Builders and Homeowners alike are installing radiant heating
systems into new poured concrete walkways, driveways, and
steps. In this case, a Country Club decides to get rid of the
snow and ice on an inclined walkway permanently.
Concrete walkway, a
look Before and After:
Location:
Cleveland Ohio suburb
Job: Country Club Restaurant Entrance
Installation:
Cable laid by Club Maintenance Personnel.
It
only took approximate 2 hours to lay the cable.
The cable comes on spools and is custom made for the
project. Cold Leads at the end of the heating cable are
attached to the electrical feed and to the Sensor Control.
The
cable is tied onto the wire mesh in order to hold the cable
down and to also set up the exact cable spacing required for
the heating to work evenly. Your final project quote gives you
the exact spacing for your layout
In this example, the Club's electrician did the final hook up.
Ordered
and installed in March 2006.
Here is the control box for the walkway.
