Heated mats melt snow in the courtyard.

Heated snow melting mats for a snow-free courtyard.
Isn’t it great when you don’t have to slide around in an icy courtyard? At least that’s the opinion of BRF Bananen 6, which has once and for all tackled its stubborn winter problem: a sloping courtyard with snow that refuses to disappear, and endless shoveling.
So, in the fall, the association invested in a bunch of 50 x 120 cm heating mats and a thermostat that regulates use only when necessary. The result? A snow-free, slip-free and shovel-free walkway between the two front doors in the courtyard.
How do the heating mats work?
The snow melting mats are activated when the temperature drops below zero and then maintain a temperature that keeps them free of snow and ice. Does your association also have a courtyard that would benefit from some technical winter magic? Get inspired by BRF Bananen’s solution and think about what could work at your place!
