Say Goodbye to Snow Removal Stress For commercial property owners in cold
climates, winter brings significant liabilities: icy walkways, snow-clogged
driveways, and the constant cost of plowing and salting. Hydronic PEX snow
melting systems are changing the game, offering a silent, automated solution to
keep surfaces clear and safe.
How PEX Snow Melting Works The concept is similar to indoor radiant floor
heating. A network of Ritable PEX-A pipes is embedded in concrete, asphalt, or
under pavers. A mixture of water and antifreeze (glycol) circulates through the
pipes, warming the slab to a temperature just above freezing, melting snow as it
falls.
Why Ritable PEX-A is Ideal for Outdoor Use:
Extreme Durability: Outdoor slabs undergo massive thermal expansion.
Ritable PEX-A has the highest degree of cross-linking, providing the flexibility
to handle these stresses without cracking.
Chemical Resistance: Our pipes are resistant to the corrosive effects of
glycol and other chemicals, ensuring the system remains maintenance-free for
decades.
Cost Savings: While the initial setup requires investment, the ROI is found
in the elimination of snow plowing contracts, reduced salt damage to
landscaping, and lower liability insurance premiums.
Commercial Applications From hotel entryways and hospital emergency ramps
to loading docks and shopping mall walkways, Ritable’s snow melting solutions
ensure that your business stays accessible and safe 24/7, regardless of the
weather.
