These mats are made from customized [thermoplastic material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moritz-walter), and are made to stay outdoors throughout the entire winter. Your walkway will always be cleared, regardless of the time of day, because the mats create heat, melting snow at two inches per hour. If you have a long path that you want to keep cleared, the [mats can be interconnected](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3w-mats) for a continuous unobstructed walkway. The mats use a single plug and are equipped with watertight connecting cables and have the option of putting five linked together at the same time. HeatTrak Mats lets you stay inside during the snowstorm, while everyone else on the street is stuck shoveling. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Residential Snow-melting Mats:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced snow-melting mats that are even more efficient and can be controlled remotely. - **Thermoplastic Material:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Find new applications for thermoplastic material in industries beyond snow melting, such as construction or agriculture. - **Remote-controlled Snow Melting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a remote-controlled system for melting snow, offering convenience and efficiency to homeowners and businesses. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Winter Maintenance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new technologies and products for winter maintenance, such as snow removal tools or ice prevention solutions. - **Home Improvement:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate snow-melting technologies into home improvement products, offering convenient and effective solutions for homeowners. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design snow-melting systems for outdoor recreational facilities, allowing visitors to enjoy winter activities without the hassle of snow removal. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intelligent Textile Sensor Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trampletek-blue.md) - [Heavy-Duty Holiday Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-tree-floor-mat.md) - [Salt-Infused Roadway Asphalts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asphalt-additive.md) - [High-Performance Snow Shovels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-snow-shovel.md) - [Water-Powered Bed Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parklon-onsu-mat.md) - [Pain Relief Therapy Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therapy-mats.md) - [Intelligent Autonomous Snowblower Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowbot-s1.md) - [Patterned Luxe Progressive Doormats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-outlier.md) - [Accessible Shower Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mullen-shower-mat.md)
