Winter is nearly here again, and it’s time to get prepared! Last year, we had a warmer-than-usual winter, but the amount of rain and snow combined with the constant freeze-and-thaw cycle made for some hazardous walking and driving situations. Ice, snow, and cold temperatures can all cause slips, trips, and falls. Greely Sand & Gravel is stocked and ready to provide top-quality de-icing products to ensure your steps, walkways, and driveway remain safe this winter. Don’t leave it to the last minute. Prepare now and have peace of mind when that first blast of winter weather hits
This year, we have five high-quality, effective winter products in stock:
- Thawrox Salt
- Road Salt
- Winter Chip Stone
- Salt and Sand Mix
- Salt and Chip Mix
Thawrox Salt is our premium de-icing product, especially effective at lower temperatures. In addition to providing safe, effective de-icing, using Thawrox Salt will reduce your overall costs because it has a higher adhesion rate than other products, meaning that a little goes a long way.
Road Salt is broken into large granules for easy spreading on roads, sidewalks and other surfaces. We recommend this product for commercial use as a roadway de-icer.
Winter Chip Stone is perfect for those looking for a salt-free winter abrasive. Due to its pebble-like texture, this product is heavy enough to stay in place, resisting wind and won’t disappear under a layer of fresh snow.
Salt and Sand Mix increases traction on thick, icy surfaces or snow-covered roadways. If you are concerned about damage to concrete and asphalt, this product might be a great option as it only contains enough salt to prevent the sand from freezing.
Salt and Chip Mix provides added traction in slippery areas at an economical price. Great for helping to prevent slips, trips, and falls in areas with heavy foot traffic, such as stairs or walkways that tend to get icy.
We have a new dedicated salt depot at 5362 Bank Street for our commercial customers. Come pick up large loads of our salt, sand, and other ice-melting products at one convenient location. To find out more, call 613-875-7258.
