The science behind radiant floor heating is quite simple: Tubes that circulate hot water or electrical heating elements are installed in the concrete slab when it's poured, turning the thermal mass of the concrete into an inconspicuous radiator of warm, even heat. Among the many benefits: Less shoveling, melts away Ice on the concrete, no Ice melt or scraping needed, and more time spent out of the cold. Best of all, you'll typically pay low utility costs to achieve that Ice and snow free Driveways and sidewalk with less of that snow shoveling hassles. Clear your driveway even while you sleep.
