Shoveling the same set of steps or the pathway to your car before sunrise isn't always the best start to your morning. The Dr Infrared Heater Heated Rubber Snow Melting Mat does that job for you by warming the surface where you walk, so snow and ice can't build up there.
This daisy-chainable mat works for more than just your home, but also for business and commercial entrances, cold rooms, garages, and workshop pathways, where a slick doorway puts customers and employees at risk. Once it's laid down, you can leave it outside all winter with no maintenance.
Key Features and Benefits of the Dr Infrared Heater Heated Rubber Snow Melting Mat
- 300-Watt Output: Puts out 300 watts, or 47 watts per square foot, spreading steady heat across the surface that snow, ice, and your feet land on.
- GFCI Safety Plug: The included DR-100 GFCI-protected plug cuts power if it senses a ground fault, which protects you when running power outdoors in wet weather.
- cETLus Certified: Holds cETLus certification, so you know it has been tested against North American electrical safety standards.
- Power Cord Reach: Includes a 10-foot cord that reaches a nearby 110-120 volt outlet from your doorstep or landing.
- Daisy Chainable: Connect up to five mats, each pulling only 2.5 amps, to expand its heated reach down longer pathways or larger entrances without exceeding the 15-amp circuit limit.
- Vulcanized Rubber Build: High-elastic vulcanized styrene butadiene rubber resists slipping and handles high and low temperatures, so it holds up outdoors all season.
- Slim Profile: Measures 40 x 23 x 0.3 inches (L x W x H), so it sits low on steps and landings instead of forming a raised edge and is large enough to cover the entire pathway.
- Portable Mat: Weighs 15.5 pounds, so you can move it to a different entryway whenever your problem spot changes.
Will the DR-101 Keep Up With Your Storms?
Check your local weather to compare the DR-101's melt rate against the projected snowfall rate. The DR-101 clears 1.5 to 2.5 inches of snow per hour when placed and powered on at least 30 minutes before the snowstorm. When snow falls more slowly than that, the mat keeps pace, and when snow falls faster, it will need help clearing any built-up snow.
Dr Infrared's snow melting mat will melt packed snow or glazed ice, leaving only a wet surface that is much less slippery. We recommend ensuring drainage pathways are clear to prevent slippery water puddles.
Sylvane's Expert Take
If you have one entry that ices over every storm, like a front stoop or a small storefront doorway, set up the DR-101 before the first snowfall. It works best lying flat, with an outlet within 10 feet.
This large but slim mat clears snow and ice from the area it covers, so place it on the most hazardous, frequently used spot. The melt rate and the GFCI protection matter most here, melting heavy snowstorms with the added peace of mind when running power in wet conditions. Leave this rubber heater mat out until spring, and your morning shovel routine shrinks.
