"Frost and the sun - a wonderful day," insisted Alexander, and we, the modern inhabitants of houses, with, in general, agree. The more that we can currently afford, and all is quite unexpected for a classic, modern civilization finds.
One of them - a system of de-icing and snow melting system, making a comfortable and safe, not only outside our house, but also help get rid of excess snow on the selected sites.
The problem of freezing effluent mass falling icicles, freezing certain surfaces where snow is not in the form of a snowman - this problem exists only under certain weather conditions. These problems occur when massive rainfall and temperatures below 0 . Yes, cold and wet porch is often not happy, so the heating system is often used, and when the temperature drops below 3 .
about gutter heaters
Sisters and brothers of the classical system icing - a system for heating the different surfaces. For instance, greenhouse and lawns, sports facilities and other places in your possession that you would like to use, and after the start of the season of snow. To heat the soil and lawns, heating greenhouses use two ways to install heating systems:
-Installation in the concrete floor, followed by pouring the soil;
-Laying of the cable directly into the soil (optional cable is installed under the metal mesh).
And in the first and second case, the insulation to reduce heat loss and still be aware that installation of heating the soil in the concrete floor is more secure because the reduced probability of meeting a shovel and heat cable.
Both systems are controlled by both air temperature and the temperature of the soil - it is directly dependent on the needs of the host anti-icing system and the heating of the soil.
If you - the owner of a beautiful home tennis court and you want to use it, and out of season, in this case would be nice to produmta surface and the heating system specifically for sports facilities. In principle, such a system is managed as a system of open anti-icing surfaces: ie You can select manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic control system.
Roof. Anti-icing systems are different for different types of roofs: flat and pitched roofs.
When you install the anti-icing system on the pitched roof required the establishment of the heating elements in all the downpipes and gutters, walking around the perimeter of the roof. It is possible in your case and will require additional cabling along the edge of the roof (usually a special problem areas, such as the northern and ventilated sides). In the case of the absence of a pitched roof gutter installed a "train" the heating cable, which does not obrazovavatsya icicle, as it were "undercutting" them.
If you are installing de-icing on the flat roof, you will also need to pave the system at all exterior drain pipes. At the same pipes located inside the building itself is enough to heat the middle of the roof, and about one square meter around the water intake funnel.
Stairs, ramps, handrails.
Who, tell me, I want to take over icy rails? Who wants to "crawl" on the icy marble stairs (especially on the heels ...)? Who, finally, I want to build a separate "winter" entry or, better yet, enter the house through the garage? Yes, actually, it's rhetorical question, implying an answer to anyone. And leave the icy ramp to the garage? Well, or to enter ... then there is no difference. The answer is the same - to anyone.
For these problem areas in the problematic weather also created its own heating system and de-icing. Installation of antiobledeneiya, laying a heating cable under the cover of stairs and handrails, ramps or ramps solves these problems. If your ladder well ooooooooochen large - have access to the warming of only the "path" on the stairs, which often move your family and your guests (often quite wide and a half meters). Well, the entry - exit to the garage will be warm enough for two tracks, on which the wheels move the machine (the width of each track in this case, about half a meter).
As you can see - the modern creature comforts allow you to organize the most friendly space even in the harsh winter and not only support the classic in his love for the sunny days and frosty, but kindly refer to any winter weather.
