Heated Paver Walkway Construction Timelapse
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2016
- This Proline Electric Radiant Heat Solutions designed system was installed in Manchester NH for a couple that wants nothing to do with shoveling snow off their walkway ever again. The existing poured concrete walk was removed and Genest Hollandstone pavers were installed in a Herringbone pattern.The system was designed to allow for future expansion to the driveway. Our new Weber CR3 and VPR700 roller compactors were also used on this job.

I want to see this driveway in action melting snow in a winter storm
Thanks for sharing your work! Awesome
An innovative way to melting snow, Thank you,and looking for next video,
Nice Job !! thanks for posting this .
Excellent video! Thank you. Could you install insulation under the matt if the application is a driveway? I can see it on concrete but I"m not sure how the insulation would perform under pavers. Your thoughts?
Amazing job keep up the good work🙂
Very cool to see the time lapse. I wish there was a way to slow it down at points to see in more detail the item you were working on or to compare a change (just me and time lapse vids!). The busy music worked out for it well, especially the first part. Nice creative job with the video and the project, Tom. Mad skillz. Good to see you introduced the new compactors and they "paved" their way to a good finish. :-D
Thanks for watching! Yes it is hard so show just specific parts. One of the downfalls of timelapses...
Ahah love the mini excavator working it's butt off
In the back ground in the start
Why no thermal break under the coils? Half the energy that goes into heating is just going to heat the ground under the coils, rather than the snow on top.
How was the heating system wired into the house? Does it automatically turn on with a sensor or is it wired directly into the fuse box and needs to be switched on?
Very nice!
Awesome video Tom
Thanks!
What type of compactor did you use to seat them once all the pavers were laid?
Thanks for sharing, Awesome Video! What brand of heating system and controls did you guys use?
All that money and they didn't get you to work on the cracked up driveway or the dead front door walk way that ends in the middle of the lawn.
Why invest 5 cents on this slum house? They have bigger problems to fix than this🤔
Description sez "future expansion to driveway".
i seen others videos where you guys used to screed now you guys don't have to. maybe cuz y'all getting better at it right 👍
I always wondered why this is not more common where snow is prevalent. Heat your walkway and driveway if you want.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Will we be seeing a video of it working in the winter months?
Thats a good idea! Ill see what I can do
*you graded that whole thing with a grade rake??*
is there any glue used below the tiles ?
Great video!!! What will be your next video @thedirtninja
I really enjoy the time lapse videos you make the most. is there any concern for cars driving on the walkway? I can't tell how thick the base is but it doesn't look thick enough to support the weight of someone accidentally driving on it. the finished product looks great!
They will park on it. There is enough gravel and there was good gravel under the concrete that we left and just compacted so it should be all good! Thanks for watching!
@@DirtNinja I believe there will be 4 sinking spots due to the weight of car, if the owner keep parking in the same spot.
Can this be done with tuckpointed eden stone pathway
We have allways installed the the electric mat between sand. gravel, little sand, mat, more sand to make the base for pavers.
Know of one manufacturer, recommends placing the mat between the paver and sand so if something stop working you just pull up the pavers to fix.
That Wire Mesh looked pretty low in the slab.
But it makes for an easier tare out.
Nice job.
Yes it was low. Agreed, made it easier for me!
How much power do these installations suck up?
Молодцы!
How about this is so good and safe
Nice
No insulating barrier under the heating elements needed?
No, not with this sytem
No insulation under?
dirt ninja how long should you wait to try and start a 301.7d minni cat after it has been laid over on it's side for about two hrs no leeks or damage to mach or operater [other than pride] all fluids are clear wwdnd
I have no idea probably at least an hour. Id call your dealer and ask.
waited 24 hrs started right up no troubles
Looks like your dad is still carrying that crew. 'bout time they pick up the slack some and help the boss out a bit.
haha, he still gets after it!
Its a good idea for pavers and bricks but doing concrete and having something break underneath would be a nightmare
Good there is a few makers of mats you can lay, plug and play, leave them for season then after just clean and put away, just as cheap and if one mat becomes inoperable its very easy to replace.
Awesome stuff man. The crew should wear neon yellow or neon orange shirts. just my .02
Any reason you didn't put a thermal barrier underneath?
Not needed. Each system is designed by the manufacturer of the heating system. We send them dimensions and conditions and and they send a design back.
do you still tamp with the same force on top ?
Yes you do
+Dirt Ninja thanks for the reply, very helpful to watch.
Good job! Just curious, how much do you guys profit on a job like this?
between 50 and 56 bucks
is it electric or hot glycol should have used insulation under it
Its electric
Great video just looks like they should have done driveway
Did I miss it, I saw no thermal break between the ground and the heating coils.
"thermal break" ie insulation under the heating coils. Was just what I was thinking it needed. But it's easier said than done. Aerated concrete would have been a nice option.
Shoveling that would take like 3 mins Max...
How much does something like this cost?
Depends on system make and width of mat to size of job, then there is the thermo sensors and controller. Typically much as an ac unit but lower operating costs since its seasonal and on only when snowing. Not that I have one, just based on what researching I have done.
They win lottey? It will cost alot
Pricey intially but not much more expensive than largest home central ac system.
Jezzz that cost more than the house was worth, someone just robbed some old people of their life savings.
I said the same thing! but if they are elderly then it is in there best interest to have the walkway free of ice and snow.
obviously a regular person would have done the driveway as well.
Big John j
Big John You’re a complete moron
I guess if you have the money then why not
I guess if you dont have the money then why comment
Very nice work but I can see why someone would do that and leave that ugly drive way and sidewalk there. Something my wife would do
I didn't see no snow melt I bet it's a scam
What an immense waste of money.
Lots of resale value.
zero resale value
