Why Use Traction Magic by Gaia?

FAQs

A. Creating traction on ice involves introducing materials that increase friction between your shoes or tires and the icy surface. The key is to choose materials that won’t melt the ice or cause any harm to the environment. Sand, traction mats, and products like ‘Walk On Ice’ are designed with this purpose in mind.

A. Traction sand doesn’t typically melt ice; its primary purpose is to create traction. While sand doesn’t melt ice like salt does, it’s a valuable tool for preventing slips and falls on icy surfaces.

A. For improving traction on slippery ice, consider using products specifically designed for this purpose. ‘Walk On Ice’ is a prime example of an effective solution. It creates a skid-free and slip-free surface, making it safer to walk, drive, and even allow your pets to roam on icy surfaces.

A. When it comes to increasing traction on icy surfaces, various options are available. These methods are designed to create friction between your footwear or tires and the ice, preventing slips and slides. Some common options include:

Salt or Sand: While salt can help melt ice, sand is often used to provide traction on icy paths. Sprinkling sand over icy areas can create a gritty surface that offers better grip. However, sand is infamous for clogging gutters.

Traction Cleats: These are rubber or metal devices that you can attach to your shoes to provide extra grip on slippery surfaces. But these are not 100% safe.

Cat Litter: Used cat litter, especially the non-clumping variety, can work similarly to sand, offering traction in snow due to its granular nature. But many complain about its effectiveness.

Traction Mats: These mats are designed to be placed over icy surfaces and can provide instant traction for both pedestrians and vehicles. However, it’s a pricey solution.

A. An icy driveway can be particularly hazardous, both for pedestrians and vehicles. To improve traction on your icy driveway, consider the following:

Use Traction Aids: Sand, cat litter, or specialized traction mats can be placed strategically on your driveway to create safer pathways.

Consider Ice Melt Alternatives: Instead of traditional salt, opt for environmentally-friendly solutions like ‘Walk On Ice.’ These products not only improve traction but also melt ice without causing damage.
