| New engineered solutions for snow and ice melting  Martinson-Nicholls in conjunction with the Anderson-Bolds Company created a safe, economical, low voltage heat system for outdoor stairs and entrances. Anti slip aluminum step covers can be combined with low profile anti slip outdoor mats to create a total system to melt snow and ice, thus eliminating winter maintenance when this technology is used. The current system can be provided in a variety of sizes, including custom sizing where needed. When an entrance requires 24/7 access, this technology is ideal and attractive. It replaces the need to build expensive enclosures or canopies.The Martinson-Nicholls and Anderson-Bolds system has been adapted to custom heated mat and stair systems. Products created to date include heated, slip-resistant stair treads, outdoor entrance mats, heated ramps, and heated anti-fatigue mats for tollbooths and guard shacks. Application of this technology can also be used in master control panels, thermostat controls, vehicles from trucks, cranes, trains, buses, airplanes, etc. In most cases, a 12-volt system will be needed and currently is available. Other applications deal with indoor portable heat solutions designed to allow customers to turn down thermostats and keep employees warm and productive with low cost, effective, radiant, low voltage, electric heat. These mats are ideal for totally unheated areas where temporary heat may be required on occasion. This technology can be used in areas such as assembly lines or for under desks to replace dangerous space heaters. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
