Can Tuff Cable be retrofitted into an existing concrete or asphalt driveway?

Yes. Tuff Cable can be retrofit into existing concrete and asphalt surfaces using a saw-cut method. Channels are cut into the existing surface, Tuff Cable is laid into the channels, covered with a backer rod, and the surface is patched with a compatible overlay material and/or a sealant. This retrofit approach delivers performance equivalent to a new-pour installation at a fraction of the cost and disruption of full removal and replacement. Heatizon’s design team provides retrofit layouts and specifications as part of the standard project design service.
