Tuff Cable systems can be activated with an aerial mounted moisture and temperature sensor, temperature sensor, pavement-mounted snow sensor, or 12 hour timer. The aerial and pavement mounted sensor will automatically turn on when the temperature is below 38 degrees and there is moisture on the sensor.
Tuff Cable heating element is the perfect choice for snow melting in driveways, sidewalks and stairs. Tuff Cable systems can be installed in new pour concrete, under tile or pavers in a sand bed, and can be retrofitted into existing concrete or asphalt.
Tuff Cable is a resistance heating wire that is very durable, 10 gauge coated copper cable that is chemical resistant and comes with footage marks on the wire. The Tuff Cable has been engineered to work as a low-voltage system.
Tuff Cable is ETL Listed for the United States and Canada and conforms to UL Standard 1693. Heatizon Systems Roof Snow and Ice Melt products are the only products available today that are listed for under-roof applications.
Tuff Cable can be retrofit in any asphalt, concrete, or cementitious base.
Yes they sure can, this would fall under our under roof deicing system, or in snow melting look under deck and using a Invizimelt system with Tuff Cable.
Yes you can resurface a retrofit. There are products that can resurface concrete using epoxies or polymers. It can be thin or thick depending on which product is chosen.
Line voltage products like Heatizon lines of MI Cables, Heatwave floor warming mats, and Self Regulating Cables are fed by a typical 120V, 208V, 240V, 277V, 480V and in some cases for MI Cables up to 600V AC power. These products are either constant wattage single conductor or dual conductor or dual conductor self regulating. High voltage products do not require a transformer and are an economical solution for many projects. Typical high voltage products offer a lower warranty than low voltage products and more expensive circuit breaker components for outdoor applications than low voltage systems. Low voltage products use a step down transformer to convert high voltage to low voltage. These systems are very easy to repair compared to high voltage products while using a safe low voltage power source. Low voltage systems offer a higher warranty than their line voltage counterparts. Heatizon offers such a wide range of product choices because each and every one has an application where they fit best offering our customers a choice for the best product to fit their budget and application.
