Eliminate Snow and Ice with This Melting System

REHAU’s SIM system keeps walking and driving surfaces safe by removing frozen elements that can cause accidents.

REHAU’s snow and ice melting (SIM) systems eliminate snow and ice buildup, increasing the safety of surfaces where people walk and drive. By keeping these areas clear of frozen elements that can cause accidents, a SIM system can reduce liability exposure.

The system circulates a warm water/glycol solution through a network of RAUPEX pipes embedded in an outdoor surface in order to melt the snow and ice above. The automated convenience eliminates the hassle of coordinating snow removal and the potential of property damage from plow trucks. Users also won’t need to use salt at entrances, so it won’t be tracked throughout the building.
