New ice detection warning system from Eurosigns

IceAlert is a new ice early warning system from Eurosigns, which can be used in any outdoor area. The signs are particularly useful for installation in areas such as car parks or pedestrian walkways. The signs work by having a temperature sensitive blue reflector, which gradually revolves into sight when the temperature reaches 2°c and by –1°c is in full view. It requires no power and is virtually maintenance free.
