Why Are Electric Heated Stair Mats Important?
Winter time can be a lot of fun. It's that time of year when the young ones get to play in the snow, build snowmen, have snowball fights, go tobogganing down a hillside and generally have a ball. For the rest of us, winter brings back lots of memories and lets us pull out snowboards or skis if we're still young enough to use them, but it also turns our thoughts to issues of safety, winterizing homes against high heating bills and cold drafts and making those areas outside for which we responsible a safe and secure place for ourselves and others to walk on.
When snow falls we have to pull out our snow shovel with wheels to clear the snow off the driveway and in the case of heavy snowfall, we might have to break out the extendable snow rake to protect our roof as well. Yup, snow is awesome when you're a kid but gets to be a little more of a pain in the posterior, sometimes literally, when you are a conscientious adult.
Slippery sidewalks, paths and stairs cause countless slips and falls each year leading to numerous trips to the emergency room with broken bones and more serious injuries. The elderly and the infirm are more at risk although slipping on snow covered ice is something which brings all of us down with a bump if we are not careful. Slippery steps and stairs are particularly dangerous and a fall on these can lead to serious injury and they're not so easy to clean off either. That's where heated stair mats are so useful as they can keep outdoor steps snow and ice free and keep anyone who uses them safe throughout the winter.
Useful For Home or Business Use
Preventing slips and falls is the primary use to which this kind of snow melting floor mat is put. For business owners this can mean the difference between keeping your staff and customers safe and sound throughout the winter months or having someone fall and you being to blame. For homeowners, it can mean the difference between knowing your loved ones are safe and sound, especially if you have older relatives who are unsteady on their feet in the first place, or just trusting to chance that things will be fine.
Stairs can get slippery very quickly during the winter months and ice build up can be invisible to the eye but snow melting stair treads keep the ice away and provide a high traction surface to avoid slips and falls. Putting down chemical melting agents will temporarily remove snow and ice build up but this quickly wears away and if you are not diligent, ice can build up before you know it. Heated stair treads are a more permanent solution to the problem, just turn them on, and enjoy the peace of mind of knowing your steps are protected for the duration.
