What is a Snow Melting Mat?

Snow melting mats are the perfect way to keep your sidewalk and driveway free of snow in the winter without having to shovel or lay down ice melt products, many of which can be dangerous to pets and the environment. These heated walkway mats allow you to safely navigate your sidewalk or driveway in the winter with less risk of slips and fall on snow and ice. With a heated driveway mat, you simply lay the mat down on your driveway, attach it to a power source, and watch the snow melt away.

How Do Snow Melting Mats Work?

The heated driveway mats are rolled out onto your driveway or sidewalk. Heated mats for snow typically come with sensors that monitor the weather and turn on the mats automatically. As they heat up, they melt any snow in the area where they are placed. They can melt snow and ice on driveways, walkways, patios, or stairs. They can be used on asphalt, concrete, or pavers. Snow mats come in different lengths and sizes to suit your specific needs. Some models can be embedded into your driveway or walkway, including under concrete or pavers, so they are not in view. In most cases, heated sidewalk mats are designed so that you can connect several mats together and use a single power source, which allows you to extend the mats over larger or longer outdoor surfaces. On average, snow melting mats can melt up to 2 inches of snow per hour, helping to prevent a build-up of snow. They are made of durable materials that can withstand the harshness of winter.

Other Types of Heated Mats

Underfloor heating mats are designed to be installed inside a house underneath the floors, giving you the benefit of warmer floors.
