Open space heating – Reliable heat for industry and infrastructure
With electric open space heating, you can permanently protect your traffic areas, roofs, or sports fields from snow and ice. Slippery conditions pose a high safety risk, especially in industrial facilities, parking areas, or driveways. An intelligently controlled heating system ensures that your area remains safe to use at all times. Manual clearing and gritting are therefore no longer necessary. Our systems can be planned to fit perfectly and tailored to your individual needs.
We are looking forward to your call.

What is electric open space heating?
An electric open space heating system consists of robust heating cables or mats. These are laid directly under the surface to be heated. This technology is suitable for numerous applications, from ramp heating to roof heating.
These heating systems consist of electric heating cables or mats that are installed under the surface. They can be controlled manually or automatically, often with temperature and humidity sensors. This ensures efficient, demand-based heating performance.
Unlike water-based systems, electric heaters have a direct effect on their surroundings. This saves money on construction costs and means they react quickly.
Typical areas of application for open space heating systems
Electric surface heating systems are used wherever snow and ice can pose a hazard. For example, on outdoor surfaces such as sidewalks, stairs, parking lots, driveways, and ramps. Or on roofs to melt snow and ice. This ensures the safety and accessibility of surfaces or buildings during the winter months. The heating system offers optimum protection in both public and private areas.

Advantages of open space heating systems – electrically powered and efficient
The advantages of a heating surface are obvious: it increases safety in snowy and icy conditions. At the same time, it reduces the personnel and material costs for tasks such as clearing snow or spreading grit. Automatic control via sensors means that the system is only activated when needed. This saves energy and ensures sustainable operation.

- Automatic control via sensors (temperature/humidity)
- Energy savings through demand-driven operation
Long service life and easy maintenance
Planning and installation
The planning and installation of electric surface heating always depends on the local conditions. Depending on requirements, the heating system can be embedded under paving or concrete. Installation is possible not only in new buildings, but also in existing areas. It is important to tailor the system to the area to be heated, the weather conditions, and the electrical infrastructure.
There are also various options for the power connection, which are carefully checked by our experts. This enables us to guarantee the optimal setup for your heating system. It goes without saying that we take all relevant regulations and standards into account. These include, for example, VDE and DIN standards, as well as municipal guidelines.
We accompany you from the initial planning stage right through to commissioning. We are also available at any time for maintenance work and inspections.
