Low-Voltage Roof Deicing Systems
The low-voltage RoofHeat STEP roof heating system is a one of the most trusted and popular roof deicing systems available. The advanced roof heating system features a thin polymer heating element that is installed under the shingles, tiles or metal roofing. The heating element is a flexible, semi-conductive polyethylene heating element that can be nailed or stapled through for easy installation. The thin panel is polypropylene fused during fabrication to ensure waterproofing and protect it from alkaline, salt damage, UV rays and other potential physical damages. Because it is self-regulating, the heating element will monitor itself and adjust power up or down as the temperature changes, making the system extremely efficient and safe.
RoofHeat STEP is a highly recommended roof heating solution for heating roof eaves and valleys. The
low-voltage system does not require a ground fault switch, and can be safely installed under new or
existing asphalt, shake, or tile shingles, as well as metal roofing. This roof deicing system is
ideal for new construction as well as remodeling projects, and can be customized to accommodate just
about any roof type and configuration.
The semi-conductive polymer heating element is available in rolls 9 or 12-inches wide, as well as narrow strips for heating roof gutters. These lightweight heating elements can be cut to size on the job site, facilitating quick and easy installation. The flexible panel can also be nailed or stapled through, helping to simplify the installation process, making it easier to install than other traditional roof heating systems.
Automated roof deicing systems are controlled by automatic sensors that activate the system when necessary. Radiant roof deicing and radiant gutter trace systems have been installed in most cold regions throughout the world and are still the most effective and energy-efficient ways for keeping roofs clear of snow and ice. Installing a quality roof deicing system is a wise investment and can protect and enhance the lifespan of roofs.
