Snow and ice melting systems facilitate the removal of snow and ice by circulating a heat transfer solution (usually antifreeze and water) through RAUPEX® pipe. REHAU provides a wide range of system components, as well as design assistance.
With proper design and installation, our systems provide long-term performance and reliability.
REHAU’s RAUPEX pipes are reliable, flexible, and strong enough for this demanding application
The REHAU system has the capability to meet high loads, and the flexibility to work with a variety of heat sources
Programmable controls
In addition to the safety benefits, snow and ice melting systems can reduce indoor maintenance costs (no salt or water tracked inside), eliminate the costs of snow removal, reduce liability exposure, and provide the ultimate in convenience.
25-year Limited Warranty on RAUPEX pipes
Boilers (gas, oil or wood), solar collectors or steam energy (when converted to hot water) can be used
Provide optimal response time, save energy by turning the system off when finished
Install RAUPEX pipe under poured concrete slabs, pavers, or even asphalt surfaces. This flexibility allows for operation in a variety of outdoor areas.
