The HeatTrak® Rubber Stair Treads are built with non-slip, UV protected rubber, and is designed to endure harsh wear. The HeatTrak® Rubber Stair Treads are designed to be left out for the entire winter season.

HeatTrak Stair Treads™ are an efficient and convenient way to eliminate snow and ice accumulation on stairs.  The Rubber Top Non-Slip Surface stair treads are connected in groups of 3, 4, and 5 -- plugging into any standard 120V or 240V outlet with its own GFCI.  The Rubber Top Non-Slip Surface treads are portable and are designed with grommet holes to make securing the treads both simple and effective (see instruction manual for recommended methods of securing the mat). 

 Product Specs

HeatTrak Stair Treads™ are an alternative to more traditional forms of snow and ice removal, such as shoveling, harsh chemicals, and embedded systems.  Unlike the alternatives, however, HeatTrak™ products do not require the effort of shoveling, preserve surfaces from harsh chemicals, and continuously melt snow and ice keeping surfaces constantly clear and safe.  In addition, the HeatTrak™ Stair Treads™ are less expensive to install than embedded snow melting systems and their portability allows them to be used in places where embedded elements cannot be used.  The HeatTrak™ Stair Treads™ are extremely durable and are designed to be left outside for the entire winter season.

HeatTrak Stair Treads™ either plug directly into any standard 120V or 240V outlet using a GFCI, or they can be hardwired into an electrical junction box.  The HeatTrak™ products melt up to 2” of falling snow per hour and cost as little as 60 cents a day to operate (depending on the cost per kilowatt hour).

To ensure the product’s reliability, HeatTrak Stair Treads™ are built and tested according to the UL499 and CSA E335-1 electrical standard before leaving our facility.

• CSA Certified

• No More Shoveling, snow blowing and harsh chemicals.

• Efficient and convenient way to prevent snow and ice accumulation around the home or workplace.

• Laid over stairs and stairways to provide a clean and safe passageway.

• If any part of the stair is not covered by the 11" tread, there will be an un-melted area.

The mats melt up to 2" of falling snow per hour and cost as little as 60 cents a day to operate (depending on the cost per kilowatt hour). That's less than the cost of having to shovel!

In-line safety device/power cord
All mats (both 120 Volt and 240 Volt) have a built-in GFCI in the cord, and 120V can be plugged into any wall outlet (GFCI or non-GFCI)

Also available are optional automatic ETI Snow and Ice Melting Controls and Sensors requiring professional installation.

2. Will the mats wear out if I leave them on for the entire winter?
    No.

3. Can the mats be automatically controlled?
    Yes. There are automatic controllers that can turn your mat on and off.

4. Will the mats work if plugged into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet?
    Yes.

6. Do I turn on the mat before it snows or after it snows?
    The best way to use the HeatTrak mats is to turn them on before the snow begins to fall. This way, no snow will accumulate on the mats, since the snow flakes will evaporate as soon as they fall. However, you can turn on the mats after the snow has already fallen. In this case, give the mats a few hours to melt through the snow.

7. How long does it take to melt the snow?
    The mats will melt snow at an average rate of 2” per hour.

8. Can the mat be secured to the ground?
    The HeatTrak mats and stair treads are designed and built with grommet holes to make securing the mats both simple and effective. To secure the mats, we recommend using screws that are appropriate for the specific surface (i.e. wood screws, concrete screws, etc.)

9. How long is the electrical cord? Can I use an extension cord?
    The mat comes with a 6’ long cord. You can use an extension cord as long as you properly cover the connection point of the two cords so that water does not touch the electrical pins.

10. Where is the power cord located on the stair-treads?
    The default location of the power cord on the stair-treads is upper right, which is also lower left if rotated. The power cord can be reversed to the other side if requested in the order.

11. What type of outlet should I use for the mats?
    The plug on the mat looks like the diagrams below. Make sure the outlet you are plugging the mat into has a similar looking receptacle.

14. How long is the warranty?
    All HeatTrak products come with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.
