Roof edge heaters.

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. Our mats can be placed under asphalt shingles synthetic slate and shake and both standing seam and pro panel roofing giving you the continuous look to the roof edge. Exposed zig zag heater cables were the original attempt at ice dam abatement. As more and more water freezes along the eaves ice builds up creating ice dams.

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. The hotedge rail fastens to the fascia beneath the metal drip edge on a roof providing a containment system for the heat cable. 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. Snow starts to melt in certain areas of the roof which are warmer than others due to heat loss from the attic.

Hotedge has the first only roof edge panel system to pass ul standards. Key advantages of hotedge roof ice melt systems. The hotedge rail is the first and only ul listed roof edge ice melt system in the u s this revolutionary new patent pending system is engineered to prevent icicles and ice dams from forming along the edge of most roof structures by pairing the hotedge rail with a 12 watt commercial grade self regulating heat cable. 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.
