Fort Wayne Roof Deicing and Gutter Heat Trace Solutions
Fort Wayne usually isn’t subjected to extreme weather conditions during the winter, but Indiana
does get its share of snow and occasional arctic cold fronts. Depending on your home and roof,
investing in a roof deicing system could be a smart, money-saving investment. Roof heating systems
can prevent ice dams from forming and greatly reduce the threat of water damage as a result of roof
leakage.
To avoid problems associated with ice dams it makes sense to simply eliminate the cause of the problem. Warmzone offers two of the most common and effective solutions for preventing the formation of ice dams: Low voltage RoofHeat STEP and self-regulating heat trace cable.
Roof Heating Options
The RoofHeat STEP roof deicing system features a thin polymer heating element that can be nailed and stapled through, and cut on site. The flexible heating panel is discreetly installed underneath the shingles, keeping the clean look of the roof intact. The roof heating system is also safe for heating metal roofs.
The low-voltage roof heating system is also self-regulating, which means that when the ambient temperature
rises, the electrical resistance increases and the consumption of electricity decreases, preventing the
element from overheating and ensuring energy-efficient operation.
The self-regulating roof and gutter trace cable is an affordable and energy efficient answer for keeping roof edges free of ice dams and gutters clear of heavy ice. The cable can be installed in a variety of configurations to address all your roof snow melting needs.
Warmzone self-regulating heat cable is comprised of a durable outer jacket to withstand winter's harsh
conditions. The cable features an irradiated conductive core that increases the heat output as the outside
temperature falls and decreases the heat output as the temperature rises.
The cable can be zigzagged along
the roof edge to provide channels for the runoff, and run through the gutters and downspouts to prevent ice
buildup and provide a clear path for the runoff.
Like snow melting systems, Warmzone roof deicing systems can also be customized to accommodate just about
any roof type and configuration. The self-regulating heat trace cable can be combined with other roof heating
systems such as RoofHeat STEP to provide the most optimal roof deicing solution. Warmzone system designers are
among the very best in the industry, and together, with Warmzone electrical experts, they’ll create a customized
system to best accommodate your specific snow melting needs as well as your budget.
Roof Heating Options
- Install the low-voltage RoofHeat heating element at the roof's edge (under the shingles)
- Zigzag self-regulating heat cable to warm the eaves and eliminate ice dams.
- Heat the roof valleys and/or trouble spots to prevent ice buildup.
- Install self-regulating heat cable in gutters and downspouts to facilitate runoff.
- For flat roofs in cold climate areas, heating elements can be installed under the entire roof surface to protect the structure from dangerous weight loads due to heavy snow and ice buildup. This is a costly option and only recommended in extreme cases.
