Protect Your Roof and Gutters from Ice, Snow, and Water Damage
Older buildings are a visible testament to the damaging effects of ice and snow that can destroy fronts, roofs, drainpipes, and gutters. Old roofs are often poorly insulated or have substandard support structures, and such shortcomings can result in ice dams that enable water to enter the building. Once winter frost sets in, damage is often inevitable — and very costly. Industrial buildings with flat roofs, on the other hand, often give in to excessive weight loads generated by accumulations of water, ice, or snow.
Roof de-icing systems should be installed by a qualified contractor. In some cases, the need to install splice kits, end seals and power connection kits may be necessary. Although any handy DIY homeowner can install much of the system's heating element, it is important to have a qualified electrician connect the wiring. This protects the homeowner by keeping the warranty valid. (Please refer to the installation guide for detailed information on how to install your Warmzone system.) Be sure to take advantage of Warmzone's free installation training (available via video conference). Installers can also call our support staff if they have any questions during the installation. Warmzone also provides detailed system design and layout, so you'll know all the technical specs and electrical requirements before any installation takes place. Warmzone prides itself on offering the best, most comprehensive customer support service in the industry. So, in addition to receiving industry-leading products, you'll have an experienced team of radiant heat professionals supporting you all the way.
A popular Warmzone snow and ice melting system for roofs features self-regulating heat cable, along with an activation device (snow sensor), and installation accessories. Warmzone's roof heating cable offers homeowners an affordable de-icing solution for preventing ice dams and eliminating icicles and gutter ice, while facilitating runoff. The systems can be installed in virtually any type of roof construction for private, commercial, and industrial projects. Warmzone's wide range of proven roof heating products ensures that customers can find the ideal system for installing in virtually all types of roof heating applications, including metal, bitumen, graveled, or tile roofs. Depending on your needs, Warmzone heating elements can be applied to heat roof edges, downspouts, roof gutters, valleys, and more.
Warmzone roof de-icing is an investment in safety and peace of mind, putting to rest concerns about unexpected property damage or pedestrian safety. In addition, the system can be a financially sound investment as roofs, drainpipes, and gutters are notoriously expensive to replace or repair. Given that the cost of our ice and snow melting system is comparable to the expense of replacing and repairing what was damaged by the weather in just one winter season, one can easily see that a fast pay-back on investment in a Warmzone system is practically assured.
Roof de-icing systems are easy to customize and install. A range of roof heating solutions are available from Warmzone. Self-regulating heat cable can be used to facilitate runoff in valleys, gutters, and downspouts, as well as being installed along the roof's edge to reduce the chances of ice dams forming.
A low-voltage, thin polymer heating element is also available. RoofHeat STEP can be installed under shingles or metal roofs to eliminate any snow and ice buildup along the roof eaves. This is an outstanding system for preventing ice dams from forming.
Automated roof heating systems utilize an advanced snow sensor that detects precipitation and temperature. When weather conditions warrant, the sensor triggers the controller and power is sent to the heating element. The system is activated just as the storm begins, preventing the accumulation of snow in the heated areas. The systems can also be activated manually. Fortunately, Warmzone's roof de-icing solutions are easy to customize, and can be installed to provide de-icing solutions for virtually any type of roof, in any type of combination and configuration. Self-regulating cable can be installed in gutters and downspouts, while the low-voltage panels can be installed along the roof eaves and/or valleys. The custom options are virtually limitless.
The two most trusted sensors for the automated systems are the Warmzone WS-5C and WS-8C activation devices. Both sensors are aerial-mount sensors, but the WS-8C has a remote sensor that can be placed directly in the roof gutter or other appropriate location.
