Membrane roofing offers several advantages over asphalt flat roofing systems. Despite the advantages, flat roofs in cold climate areas typically need some type of roof de-icing system. The roofs generally have sections that pitch toward a central drain; however, snow buildup or ice can block the drain and edge flashing, causing water backup. Standing pools of water can increase the chances of causing structural damage over time. For this reason, drainage kits on flat roofs must remain free of ice for the roofs to drain properly. The ideal solution for keeping roof drains ice-free is to install self-regulating heat trace cable. The cable is routed around the drain in a star pattern and down the drain until it reaches the heated portion of the building. This keeps the runoff flowing safely through the drain.
Other roof de-icing options for flat membrane roofs include heating the entire panels. For this application, the low-voltage RoofHeat™ STEP® system is the solution most recommended. The thin, flexible self-regulating polymer heating elements are installed under the membrane, providing safe, efficient heat across the desired area.

Warmzone's low-voltage RoofHeat STEP de-icing system is a uniquely advanced system that utilizes transformers to step down high voltage to low voltage (60 V or less). Each power unit controls specific sections of the de-icing system and monitors the power and output of the heating element to ensure safe, optimal performance. The recommended controller for this system is the advanced TOUCH thermostat.
The WS-8C activation device (snow sensor) has been a long standing “go-to” activation device for automated roof heating systems. This versatile sensor is housed in a sturdy NEMA 3R enclosure rated for outdoor use, but its most notable feature is a remote precipitation sensor with a 10-foot cable. The small sensor can be placed in the roof gutter while the unit can be mounted in a more convenient location.
Roof heating accessories and manual control options are also available from Warmzone. Contact a roof de-icing expert today to learn more about the available options, and what controllers would work best with your roof heating system. Call us today at 888-488-9276.
