Cleveland, Ohio residents and construction professionals have come to rely on the expertise of Warmzone® for their radiant heat needs. As an industry-leading provider of roof heating systems, Warmzone offers the most trusted solutions available. The most popular roof de-icing solutions are the low-voltage RoofHeat STEP® system and RoofHeat self-regulating heat trace cable.
RoofHeat STEP systems are perhaps the industry’s most reliable, safe, and effective systems for discreetly heating roof edges, valleys, and trouble spots. The system features a unique polymer heating element that can be installed under roof shingles, and can also be installed to heat metal roofs. It is polypropylene fused during fabrication to achieve water proofing and protection from alkaline or salt damage. The thin, semi-conductive heating panel can be nailed and stapled through and cut onsite. The heating element is also self-regulating, so when the ambient temperature rises, the electrical resistance increases and the consumption of electricity decreases, preventing the element from overheating while ensuring energy-efficient operation.
Ice dams are the single most common cause of expensive roof and water damage. To prevent potentially damaging ice dams, the thin heating element is installed under the roof shingles along the roof edges and valleys to prevent runoff from refreezing at the roof eave. This system is one of the safest, most effective, and discreet roof de-icing systems available.
The system utilizes transformers to step down high voltage to low voltage (60 volts or less). Individual control boxes monitor the power and output to the heating element to ensure safe, accurate, efficient performance.
The low-voltage roof heating system is fully automated. It can use the RoofHeat STEP Touch thermostat or an advanced snow sensor, also known as an activation device. This sensor detects precipitation and temperature to activate the system when needed. When the first snowfall is detected and the temperature is below the set point, the sensor signals the controller. (The system's controller is usually mounted on a wall in the garage.) After receiving the signal from the snow sensor, power is then sent to the heating element to begin heating the roof.
The Touch thermostat is beautifully designed for simple two-control functionality for ease of operation, and features a 3-digit, auto-dim LED display. It is designed to work seamlessly with all Warmzone radiant heat systems, and works with snow melting, roof de-icing, and floor heating systems. The unit is also capable of interfacing with smart home systems. All of the thermostat’s settings are stored in permanent memory for instant recovery in the event of a power failure (no batteries are needed).
Installing heat trace cable in gutters and downspouts helps to eliminate heavy ice buildup and prevent damage to gutters. This affordable roof de-icing solution helps to clear gutters of ice and facilitate runoff so that buildup doesn’t occur along the roof’s edge or damage gutters and downspouts. Self-regulating heat cable is also often installed along the roof eaves to reduce the chance of ice dams from forming. The cable is zigzagged along the roof edge to break up ice dams and provide channels for the runoff.
Warmzone self-regulating cable is a premier quality, industry-leading heat trace cable. Several variations of the heat cable are available. For detailed information about the various types of heating cable that are available, please contact a friendly roof heating expert today, at 888.488.9276.
