De-Icers

Using De-Icers to Melt Snow and Ice and Keep Your Toronto Business Safe all Winter

Winter has now arrived in the Toronto region. The snowy surroundings may suit the holiday season, but slippery surfaces outside your business can be a danger to your staff and visitors. Avoid potential slips and hazardous falls with ice melting crystals. At State Building Maintenance Limited (SBML) we work all season long to make sure your driveways, sidewalks, and entrances are safe from ice, snow and slush.

There are various de-icer products on the market, each solution is meant to stop ice from forming. Our team of experienced winter maintenance professionals will often use a truck to spray a melting product on a parking lot’s pavement before a snow or ice storm arrives. Smaller surfaces such as sidewalks require ice melting crystals to be spread by hand or with a spreader. Again, crystals are spread before a storm hits to avoid ice build-up.

A winter maintenance professional will know the right amount of de-icing products to use, applying too much product can have an adverse effect. Some de-icer crystals are coloured to give a visual guide of where the product has been spread. It’s important to shovel heavy snow before applying ice crystals, the product is not meant to melt large amounts of ice and snow.

We’ve been providing building maintenance services in the Toronto region for over 50 years. During this time we’ve gained a strong understanding of the unique challenges presented by a Toronto winter and we utilize this experience to bring the right ice melting products to your business.
