KEMF Life Simplified, Inc. is taking homeownership to new levels by developing two products that make weathering any storm much more manageable! Come rain, shine, snow, or ice, TEK-Mesh™, and HOTflake/HOT-blocks™ have enabled the Canadian manufacturing firm to make the cut as a finalist in this year's show.

TEK-Mesh™ gutter protectors deliver a high-quality product that enables homeowners to better protect their walls, foundations, and landscapes to ensure they are maintaining a sustainable living. The unique design of this product includes thousands of 2.0-mm holes and raised mesh covers to prevent clogging and efficiently channel excess rainwater. It also comes in ten different anodized colors, so take your pick of this rust-free, low maintenance product!

HOTflake/HOT-blocks™ are outdoor heated mats designed for industrial use that include waterproof cable screw connectors meant for both safety and efficiency. These anti-slip mats melt snow and ice, preventing anyone from slipping or sliding around on otherwise icy surfaces in chilly temperatures. What’s the difference between the two? HOT-blocks™ are more heavy-duty and work better for outdoor stairways or handicap ramps.
