Winter-proof Your Roof
Roof Heating De-icing Cables

Understanding Roof De-icing Cables

 

Roof de-icing cables work by generating heat to melt snow and ice on the roof's surface. They are available in different types, including self-regulating cables and constant-wattage cables. Self-regulating cables automatically adjust their heat output based on the surrounding temperature, while constant-wattage cables maintain a consistent level of heat output.

​

When selecting roof de-icing cables we consider factors such as the roof type and size, local climate conditions, and power requirements. It is essential to choose the right cable length and wattage to ensure effective and efficient operation.

​

Roof de-icing cables can be installed for a variety of climates and are designed to handle severe weather conditions, ensuring their effectiveness and durability. These systems can withstand high wind speeds, low temperatures, and heavy snow loads. Regardless of the climate you live in, roof de-icing cables offer reliable protection against ice dams and snow buildup.

​

These systems are compatible with various roof types, including:

​

• Shingle roofs

• Rubber roofs

• Tar roofs

• Bitumen roofs

 

 

No matter the material your roof is made of, roof de-icing cables can be safely and effectively installed to provide ice and snow melting capabilities. The cables are designed to work seamlessly with different roof types, ensuring optimal performance and protection.

Preparing for Installation

 

Before installing roof de-icing cables it is crucial to assess the roof's condition and suitability for installation. We inspect the roof for any damage or issues that need to be addressed before proceeding. Additionally, we determine the areas where the cables should be placed to maximize their effectiveness.

Benefits of Roof Heating Deicing Cables

​

​

Roof de-icing cables offer numerous benefits for homeowners and businesses, especially in regions with cold climates. Here are some key advantages:

​

Prevent Ice Dams and Damage

 

Ice dams, which form when snow melts and refreezes on the roof, can lead to water seepage, structural damage, and potential mold growth. Roof de-icing cables melt the snow and ice, ensuring proper drainage and preventing ice dam formation.

​

Enhance Safety

 

Ice buildup poses a significant safety hazard, falling icicles or chunks of ice can cause injury to people or property, and improper drainage caused by ice dams can create ice buildup on walkways. By keeping the roof surface clear of ice, de-icing cables help create a safer environment for occupants and passersby.

​

Protect Roofing Materials

 

The weight of accumulated snow and ice can put excessive strain on the roof structure and roofing materials, leading to structural damage and leaks. Roof de-icing cables prevent the buildup of snow and ice, preserving the integrity of the roof.

 

Ensure Efficient Energy Consumption

 

Roof de-icing cables are designed to activate only when necessary. Self-regulating cables adjust their heat output based on temperature, minimizing energy consumption. This ensures efficient operation and reduces energy costs.

 

Prevent Costly Repairs

 

By preventing ice dams and related damage, roof de-icing cables help avoid costly roof or home repairs and water damage. Investing in these cables can save homeowners and businesses significant expenses in the long run.

​

Convenience and Low Maintenance

 

Once installed roof heating deicing cables require minimal maintenance. They can operate automatically, activating when needed and deactivating when the temperature rises. This hands-off approach provides convenience and peace of mind for property owners.
