BASE MATERIAL
STEP 2.5
Prepare the site that you want to heat with ProMelt Mat/Cable. This includes making sure all utilities and obstructions
are accounted for.
STEP 2.6
Lay a smooth, well-compacted gravel base. Ensure proper slope and drainage to avoid water buildup in any heated
or surrounding areas. This is especially important for brick paver applications, as melted water may re-freeze and
heave surrounding sand and paver areas. Follow local building code and construction guidelines for grade thickness
and type.
Make sure you account for the total grade and slab thickness as required for pedestrian and vehicular traffic use.
If the mat/cable is to be placed on an existing pavement, make sure it is inspected for any sharp objects, loose
sections, or other potentially damaging issues that could cause problems later. It is very important for the cable to be
completely embedded.
STEP 2.7
Concrete Application
Attach reinforcement, such as wire mesh or rebar, over the base at about 2 inches below the level of the top surface.
You must use "chairs" or other appropriate objects to raise the wire mesh to the correct level. The ProMelt Mat/Cable
will be attached to this reinforcement later. It is very important for the cable to be completely embedded in concrete.
Protect or remove sharp protrusions by bending them over, capping, or cutting. Sharp edges may damage the
heating cable.
STEP 2.8
Asphalt Application
Apply a first course over the gravel base and compact it. The ProMelt Mat/Cable will be secured to the top of this
later. Allow it to cool enough to work on before installing ProMelt Mat/Cable.
