ClearPath is the innovative new snow-melt solution that makes treacherous, slippery winter walkways a thing of the past.

Simple, affordable and energy-efficient, ClearPath harnesses cutting-edge technology to keep your walkways, stairways and ramps safe and snow-free all winter long. 

 

Beyond the serious safety issue posed by slick winter walkways, there’s the sheer effort and annoyance involved in trying to keep your walkways clear during the winter months. If you’ve ever had to shovel snow, you know it’s cold, miserable, backbreaking work. And each time you think you’ve finished, a fresh snowstorm comes along to bury all of your hard work and send you back to square one.  

At ClearPath, we knew there had to be a better way to keep walkways clear and protect yourself against dangerous, potentially deadly wintertime falls. We set out to built it, and now it’s here: the ultimate wintertime snow-melt solution.

With ClearPath, your days of battling to keep your walkways safe and snow-free are at an end.

Our unique, modular system, made up of a series of interlocking mats, sends a constant flow of electric heat across your walkway, prevent snow from accumulating and water from freezing into dangerous patches of ice during harsh winter conditions.

With ClearPath, you can:


AVOID FALLS
By eliminating treacherous patches of ice and sleet, ClearPath keeps your walkways from becoming slick and prevents dangerous wintertime falls.   


AVOID SHOVELLING
By keeping your walkways free of snow accumulation, ClearPath saves you countless hours of freezing, backbreaking work shovelling snow yourself.


AVOID LIABILITY
By ensuring your walkways are clear, ClearPath helps you protect yourself and your business from damaging injury liability claims resulting from falls on your property.

ClearPath is the ideal wintertime solution for homes, community buildings, businesses and workplaces anywhere where icy, snowy winter weather are a yearly concern.

The system is simple and easy to install, so you can bring it out for the winter to keep pathways clear, then conveniently stow it away for the warmer months. Our mats also function with a wireles snow sensor that activates and deactivates the system based on the weather conditions. If there’s no snow or ice to be eliminated, ClearPath shuts off, reducing energy loss by 60% or more.

There are plenty of other winter walkway solutions on the market, but none is a match for ClearPath in terms of design, function or user-friendliness. Here’s a quick rundown of what sets ClearPath apart:

Affordability
Unlike conventional heated walkway systems that involve intricate, expensive networks of hot water tubes or electrical circuits that require you to completely tear up your walkways, the ClearPath system simply lies over top of your walkway, significantly reducing the cost of installation.

Safety
Other heated walkway mats fall down on the job when it comes to safety, but ClearPath is built to meet and even exceed all worldwide safety guidelines (UL, CSA, TUV, CSTB and other IEC national variants). Our system has been specifically designed to eliminate gaps between mats and minimize wire exposure to further guard against tripping and falling problems that plague other systems.

Efficiency
ClearPath’s unique design features a polymeric close-celled foam thermal insulator that limits heat loss and saves 21% energy. Additionaly, a wireless snow sensor that automatically shut the system down when there is no snow or sleet, results in further energy savings of 60% or more.

Simplicity
ClearPath snaps together in minutes and can be plugged into a regular 110-volt outlet — no complicated installation or professional electrician needed.

Durability
ClearPath is made out of a unique material that remains flexible and withstands the temperature fluctuations of winter, making it longer-lasting than any other system on the market. Only ClearPath can offer customers a 7-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

ClearPath co-founders Georges Selvais and Jonathan Willner both found their way to the floor heating business independently, before teaming up 8 years ago to tackle the challenge of creating the ultimate simple, effective, energy-efficient snow melting solution.


Georges Selvais, CEO
Georges is a seasoned entrepreneur and co-founder of several businesses including WarmlyYours.com, an electric floor heating company. Raised in Belgium, he has lived in the USA for the past 30 years, and earned his MBA from Harvard Business School.

Jonathan Willner, VP of Product Development & Certification
The scientific mind behind the ClearPath technology, Jonathan is recognized among leading inventors and global business leaders as an accomplished innovator, especially in the area of highly energy-efficient, low voltage melting and warming technology.

We’re getting closer and closer to getting ClearPath into stores and onto walkways, stairways and ramps across the United States and Canada. The prototype ClearPath system is already built, and we’re in the process of making final tweaks to the design based on feedback we’ve received on that prototype.

Our goal is to have the first units of ClearPath in customers’ hands in time for the upcoming winter weather, and now you can help us make that goal a reality!

With this fundraise, we need to raise $120,000 to help us complete our final development steps and create tools that will allow us to manufacture ClearPath at volume.

USE OF FUNDS


STRETCH GOALS 

$120,000 is our official goal amount, but if we can stretch our fundraise even farther, we can speed up delivery on a couple of exciting product enhancements we have in the pipeline:

If we reach $300,000, we can speed up our product development, and offer a new turn module enhancement to the ClearPath system in 2014 rather than Summer 2015.

If we reach $500,000, we can add LED lights to our landing mats, stairstep mats and walkway modules to add even more visibility and safety to the ClearPath system.
