Radiant Roof and Gutter Heat - Snow and
Ice Melting
Roof and gutter heating systems protect your roof
throughout winter by keeping roof gutters and drainpipes safe
from dangerous icicles, frost erosion and heavy loads of snow
and ice.
The damaging effects of
roof ice and snow can be seen on many older structures in our
communities. The buildings were not designed to withstand the
extreme weight from snow and ice accumulation, and can lead to
water entering the building. This can
eventually lead to unsafe conditions and cause the building to
become structurally unsound.
Flat roofs on industrial buildings are especially
susceptible to snow and ice damage, which is why radiant roof
heating is a common solution for many commercial properties.
Installing
a quality heated roof and gutter deicing system eliminates potential damage from
snow and ice buildup.
Roof Heating - Roof Deicing Systems
Warmzone has a variety of roof and gutter ice melting solutions (including
RoofHeat,
Zmesh
and other roof heating systems). RoofHeat deicing cable is a common choice for roof heating
applications. The RoofHeat ice and snow melting kit consists of heating cable, an electronic thermostat and
other installation accessories. The versatile snow melting system
can be installed in virtually any type of roofing application for
residential as well as commercial properties. RoofHeat deicing cable can be used on metal, graveled, bitumen or tile roofs, and
can be applied on
roof edges, drain pipes, roof gutters and valleys.
Warmzone's automated roof heating systems feature a main controller
(a snow/ice and
temperature sensor such as the DS-2B or DS-8), that activates the snowmelt system
only when moisture is detected and the temperature is below 39°
F. This
provides an extremely cost-effective solution for large areas of
roof snow and ice melting. Outdoor temperature sensors are intended for use on roofs and in
roof gutters, while moisture sensors and wire sensors are normally fitted inside gutters where
the melted runoff collects. The actual number and placement depends on the size and nature of the particular
roof heating installation.
The
roof heating system's master control unit, the
Warmzone Controller, is the premier
snow melting control
unit in the industry, and the only UL listed control unit of its
kind, making it ideal for residential and commercial
applications. (The UL listing ensures that the unit meets
residential fire insurance requirements; and thereby does not
void any existing insurance policies.)
