A thermal walkway brick has a heating element embedded therein and electrically connected at each end to couplers mounted to opposite sides of the brick. One of the couplers is a female element that defines a channel and the other coupler is a male element having a tongue. The female element is constructed and oriented to receive the tongue of the male element of a brick of the same construction with the bricks arranged in side-by-side spaced relationship. A set of bricks is laid together to form a thermal walkway with the heating elements of adjacent bricks electrically coupled in series circuit by the couplers. The spaces between adjacent bricks are filled with mortar to complete the walkway and encapsulate the couplers. The bricks are heated by the heating elements upon application of voltage to prevent a buildup or to melt ice and snow on the walkway.
