Snow starts to melt in certain areas of the roof which are warmer than others due to heat loss from the attic.
Roof edge heaters.
The well intended but obsolete methods of roof heating from the drip edge to well inside the wall line stem from an old school of thought.
As the snow melts water runs down the roof and when it gets to the edge eaves of the roof which are cold it once again freezes.
Revolutionary design heats more roof surface with less heat trace cable.
The innovative roof snow and ice melting systems can reduce or eliminate property damage caused by the inability of roofs to drain water during winter months and extend the life of your roof.
Heated roof systems offers you our exclusive patented technology that provides a concealed snow melt mat placed under various roofing material to eliminate ice dams.
Exposed zig zag heater cables were the original attempt at ice dam abatement.
70 less heat trace cable significant energy savings for both you and the enviroment.
They were installed from the eave edge in a zig zag fashion to provide a melt path through the developed ice dam to help prevent leaks.
Hotedge has the first only roof edge panel system to pass ul standards.
Heat your roof edges warmzone offers several roof heating systems that are designed to eliminate icicles ice dams and snow at the roof s edge.
The hotedge rail fastens to the fascia beneath the metal drip edge on a roof providing a containment system for the heat cable.
