Designing the Optimum Radiant Heat Solution
For contractors and construction professionals new to radiant heat system installations, the thought of installing a heated driveway, heated floors, or a roof de-icing system can be daunting. While the financial benefits may be enticing, taking on something new can pose challenges. Where does one begin? What are the preinstallation steps? What’s the layout?
ProLine leads the wholesale supplier business by providing the services that are vital for building professionals. In fact, ProLine takes care of the details and legwork when it comes to radiant heat installations, so contractors are free to deal with their overall management of their projects.
One of the key services provided is ProLine’s system design services. These detailed system layouts not only show the placement of all the system components, but also include all of the electrical information, including: proper load calculations, breaker sizes, number of breakers, etc. Your electrician will have all the information needed at his/her fingertips.
Every ProLine snow melting system is designed to meet the specific demands of the customer, and to ensure optimum system performance. Factors taken into consideration include the project’s location, elevation and average winter conditions, as well as the power requirements and availability, and of course, the customer’s budget.
The system layout serves as the road map for installers. The AutoCAD® shows the entire detailed layout of the heating cable. It shows where to begin laying the heating element out so that the cold leads can be conveniently connected to the control unit, and also the exact position of the activation device. To further simplify the installation process, installers also receive free installation training from ProLine. A radiant heat professional covers every aspect of the installation, which ultimately saves time and money in the long run.
Proper installation is the key to the successful performance of radiant snow melting, heat trace, and floor heating systems. Knowing this – and despite being a wholesale radiant heat provider – ProLine takes extra care in producing detailed system design/layout for each customer. Having a smart design and accurate layout of the system help to ensure a quick, efficient, installation, and frees up contractors so they can focus on what they do best. Having ProLine in your corner for radiant heat installations is a smart business move. The industry-leading design and support services offered by ProLine are virtually unheard of among wholesale providers.

Heated Driveways
The most popular application for snow melting systems is that of heating driveways. Homeowners can customize their systems not only to best meet their snow melting needs, but to meet their budget. Some of the more popular options include:
HEAT TWO TIRE TRACKS: Instead of heating an entire driveway, many homeowners choose to heat two 24-inch wide tire tracks. ProLine heating mats heat an area 24-inches wide, so these mats can be easily laid out and installed in this configuration. Heated tire tracks also require less power to operate than systems heating the entire driveway area.
HEAT THE CENTER STRIP: Another popular option among homeowners is to heat an 8 to 10-foot-wide strip in the middle of the driveway. If you’re not walking or driving on any other area of the driveway, this option makes sense for many homeowners.
HEAT SPECIFIC AREAS: For those on a budget, a good option is to only heat specific, problem areas, such as the driveway incline, or area that doesn’t get any sunlight. Keep these areas free of snow and ice by installing heat cable only where you need it.
HEAT ENTIRE AREAS: Radiant heating cable can be installed under entire concrete, asphalt, or paver surfaces to keep driveways and other outdoor areas completely clear of snow and ice.
INSTALL CUSTOM APPLICATIONS: Radiant heat can be installed in an unlimited number of applications. Custom systems can be installed for dog kennels and dog runs, or to keep other outdoor pets comfortable as well. Whatever your needs, ProLine experts can design a system to meet your unique radiant snow melting needs.
Snow melting systems are very versatile. ProLine can customize your radiant snow melting system to meet virtually any driveway shape and application.
