The standard specification for frost protection in concrete and rolled asphalt
The ETHERMA BRS heating mat is the primary frost protection specification for open-area surfaces in concrete and rolled asphalt construction. Heating elements are embedded in the surface structure - in the concrete or asphalt course - during installation or resurfacing, at a depth of approximately 7mm from the finished surface. Once embedded, the element is structural: invisible, protected, and permanently in place.
BRS mats are available in three power densities to match the application: 240 W/m² for private ramps, smaller access roads, terraces, and pedestrian areas below 1,000m altitude; 300 W/m² for public ramps, car park access, and high-frequency pedestrian areas; 400 W/m² for high-demand applications requiring maximum snow-melting output. Power density selection is part of the heat load calculation - ARC will specify the correct output for your surface area, traffic loading, and design ambient temperature.
IP X7 rated - certified waterproof to full submersion depth. Suitable for all UK surface water exposure conditions including snowmelt volumes and standing water. Resistant to vehicle fluids, acids, and alkalis. Compatible with eFROST dual-parameter control for automatic, energy-efficient operation.

ARC Assured
From site survey to annual service
ARC Assured is ARC's complete end-to-end programme for frost protection systems. It covers the full lifecycle of the system. One programme. One point of responsibility.
Most frost protection failures are not product failures. They are failures of specification, installation, or maintenance. An under-specified system fails to protect the surface. An incorrectly installed system voids the product warranty. A system that is never tested after installation degrades without detection - until the heating season it fails to perform is the one that causes an incident.
ARC Assured provides the installation record and the annual maintenance documentation that activates and maintains the 30year e-Warranty entitlement.
Site Survey
Substrate identification, heat loss profile, risk exposure, drainage geometry, control requirements
System Design
Heat load calculation, zone layout, product selection from the ARC Frost Protect range, eFROST control strategy
Specification
Full written specification with product references, installation drawings, and power load schedule
Supply
All heating mats, trace cables, sensors, and eFROST control equipment - coordinated from a single source
Installation
By ARC engineers to ETHERMA installation standards, with numbered mat layout, photo documentation, and as-installed record
Commissioning
Element resistance test, insulation resistance to earth, control calibration, sensor verification, written commissioning report
Annual service
Pre-season resistance testing across all heating elements, sensor accuracy check, control recommissioning, written inspection report
