These heated treads reduce the worry of slipping on slick or snow-covered steps. Even in harsh winter conditions, the patented design keeps snow and ice from accumulating on stairs without the need for shoveling or using salt or chemicals that can be harmful to the stair’s surface.

For the past 15 years, such heaters have been used on every major US city transit system that runs buses in cold weather, as well as on airport shuttles, school buses, passenger trains, and even on off-shore oil platforms in the North Sea. One of the “Best New Products” in Do It Best Retailing, these treads have been sized for standard, exterior stairs. Stair Heater Installation is simple and straightforward with included mounting hardware, which keeps the treads in place.

Once connected to an outdoor transformer, each tread takes approximately 10 minutes to warm up. Warm Welcome® stair heaters can be left on all year or added and removed seasonally.
