Snow Melting Mats Vs. Safe Paw Ice Melt: Ensuring Safe And Slip-Free Stairways In Winter
As winter approaches, homeowners and business owners alike start to consider the safety of their outdoor stairways. Slippery stairs are a common cause of injuries during the cold season. Among various options, snow melting mats for stairs have become a popular choice for many. However, are they the most cost-effective and eco-friendly solution available? This article evaluates the use of snow melting mats and introduces the Safe Paw ice melt, a chemical-free, toxin-free, and affordable solution to ensure safe, slip-free stairways.
Snow Melting Mats: Features And Costs
Snow melting mats for stairs are designed to keep steps free from snow and ice. They provide a heated surface that melts snow upon contact. While they may seem like a convenient solution, they come with several downsides.

Costs
Firstly, these mats are quite expensive, with the price varying based on the size and brand. A quality snow melting mat can cost anywhere from $100 to $400. When you consider the fact that most stairways will require multiple mats, the costs add up quickly.
Moreover, these mats require electricity to operate. Depending on the severity of the winter and the frequency of use, this can add significantly to your electricity bill.
