Custom Frost-Heave Mats are designed for each freezer or cold storage room to the required specification. The Mat comprises of duty and standby heating cables pre-laid on an adhesive mesh for fast, simple installation. Choose the length of your cold tail. All Mats come with a layout plan for even easier installation.
WHY YOU NEED FROST-HEAVE PROTECTION
In low-temperature freezers and cool rooms, the slab and subsoil can drop below 0°C. Moisture in the ground freezes and expands, creating “frost-heave” that can crack slabs, distort floor levels and damage racking and door systems.
A correctly designed frost-heave protection system keeps the subsoil just above freezing, preventing ice build-up while minimising energy use.
PREVENT STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
Avoid slab cracking and costly downtime.
PROTECT OPERATIONS
Keep doors, racking and automation aligned and working.
LOWER LIFECYCLE COSTS
Engineered systems that run efficiently for the long term.
