Keeping roofs clear of snow and ice can be essential for homeowners and businesses with metal standing seam roofs. Once the sun warms the roof, heavy sheets of snow and ice can slide off the roof, posing a danger to pedestrians below. Adding a roof de-icing system to a metal standing seam roof can be a very effective method for keeping roof edges and valleys clear of snow and ice buildup, and preventing ice dams. But heating a metal roof must be done properly. One of the industry's safest and most effective roof de-icing systems for keeping standing seam roofs clear of snow and ice is the low-voltage RoofHeat™ STEP® system.
Various types of heat trace cable can also be installed to facilitate runoff and prevent ice dams from forming. Several of the industry's most recommended roof de-icing solutions are available from Warmzone, including self-regulating heat cable, constant wattage heat trace cable, and SnoFree™ aluminum panel systems. Warmzone also includes premium customer services with each roof heating system, including free installation training, professional system design, and live installation support.

Low-voltage RoofHeat STEPWarmzone's low-voltage RoofHeat STEP roof de-icing system is the most recommended option for heating metal standing seam roofs. The system features a thin, semi-conductive polymer heating panel (available in various widths) that can be discreetly secured under the metal roofing surface. The flexible heating element can be nailed or stapled through, making installation quicker and easier than other traditional roof heating systems.

Self-regulating Heat Trace CableIn addition to commonly being used to heat gutters, valleys and downspouts, Warmzone's durable self-regulating heat cable can be installed along metal roof edges, valleys, and trouble spots to efficiently melt snow and ice. The heat cable is "zigzagged" along the roof edges to prevent ice dams and icicles from forming. Because the heat cable is self-regulating it is very efficient and won't burn out or overheat, even if it is touching or overlapping.

SnoFree Roof De-icing PanelsWarmzone’s SnoFree™ roof eave heating panel systems provide an effective means for keeping roof edges and valleys clear of snow and ice. The panels are available in a variety of attractive, protective finishes, and are available in sizes ranging from 6 to 48-inches. Featuring premium extruded aluminum, the panels are pre-engineered with channels for the heat cable, providing an aesthetically pleasing look for enhancing safety and eliminating ice dams.

Constant Wattage Heat CableThe constant wattage heat cable offers an affordable, user-friendly roof de-icing solution designed for convenient heating of metal standing seam roofs. The constant wattage heat trace cable comes pre-assembled and ready to install. The cable can be used to facilitate runoff on roofs and gutters in temperatures as cold as -40°F (-40°C). The heat cables operate on 120 volts AC, with an optional energy saving thermostat available.

Pre-terminated Heat CableWarmzone pre-terminated self-regulating heat cable with standard or GFCI power plug is a proven solution for many roof de-icing and heat trace applications, including de-icing for metal roofs. The 120-volt heat cable is available in a variety of lengths, including 50, 75, 100, and 150-feet. The pre-assembled ‘plug and play’ kits come with the option of a 6-foot standard power plug or a power plug with ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

Warmzone carries a wide range of the industry’s top roof de-icing system controls. Whether you’re looking to operate your roof heating system manually, or want it to be fully automated, Warmzone has the ideal controller / thermostat for you. Our radiant heat experts are be happy to review the available options with you and recommend the best components for your system.
The low-voltage roof heating system (RoofHeat STEP) uses transformers (power units) that control specific sections of the roof de-icing system. The small transformers monitor the power and output of the heating element, and step down high voltage to low voltage (60 V or less) to ensure safe, optimal de-icing performance. The ideal controller for the low-voltage system is the sleek, easy-to-use TOUCH thermostat. The clean, simple two-control design and auto-dimmable LED display with touch sensor controls make this a favorite among homeowners. The unit is designed to interface with an external temperature sensor.
The most recommended activation device for self-regulating heat cable de-icing systems is the WS-8C activation device (snow sensor). This advanced sensor features a rugged NEMA 3R enclosure rated for outdoor use, and features a remote precipitation sensor with a 10-foot cable. This way the sensor can be installed in the roof gutter while the activation device is mounted in a more convenient location.
Manual control options and several roof heating accessories are also available from Warmzone. Call a roof de-icing expert today to learn more about the available controls, and which would be best for your roof heating system. Call us today at 888-488-9276.
Warmzone prides itself on providing the best customer service in the industry. While our roof de-icing systems and components are among the very best in class, we understand that finding the highest quality products is of little importance unless the roof de-icing system is installed correctly. For this reason, we include the most comprehensive customer services around. Warmzone’s professional system designers carefully prepare each system layout. The system layout provides a "road map" for installers, and not only shows the proper layout of the heating element and system components, but includes all the information necessary for your electrician. This is vital to your electrician, and helps to ensure that the warranty remains valid.
Warmzone customer services also include free installation training. The courses are available online with an instructor and can be completed in less than an hour. However, the installer can always stop at any time and ask questions. This interactive training is invaluable, and not only helps to speed up the installation, but ensures accuracy and proper installation practices. The instructor will cover every aspect of your installation and provide helpful illustrations and photos to emphasize certain aspects of the install. We are committed to working closely with you throughout the installation process.
Warmzone roof de-icing experts are also available to field your calls during the installation. Despite taking the installation training course you may still encounter something unforeseen. If that’s the case, feel free to call our highly trained support professionals. They’ll be happy to address any concerns you may have and walk you through the issue at hand so that you can continue the installation with confidence.
