When protecting garage driveways against snow
and ice, it is not necessary to heat the entire
surface, but only the tyre tracks. The temperature

heated area, but not directly in the tyre tracks
under the car tyres’ path – in order to avoid snow
accumulation and unnecessary operation of the
heating system.
