STEP ROOF DEICING

STEP Roof Deicing is designed to solve problems with snow buildup and ice damming on roofs, valleys, eaves and gutters for commercial and residential buildings. Our Patented low voltage heating element STEP Roof Deicing is a durable, yet thin (3/64”) element. This 3″, 9″, 12” wide element is made of a homogeneous, semi-conductive polymer, which by nature is self-regulating. This self-regulating technology (PTC Nanotechnology) allows the elements to heat with maximum power in cold environments and use less electricity as they warm up.

Our engineers work with you to design the ideal system based on your needs.

Experience The Benefits of Step Roof Deicing

  • Strong, thin and flexible lightweight element
  • Compatible with shingle and metal roofs
  • Elements can be stapled/nailed through
  • Low voltage heater available for 120V, 208V or 240V systems
  • 10-year warranty

Ice Dams

Ice dams are formed due to the interaction between the amount of heat loss from a house, snow cover, outside temperatures and the effects of solar energy. The water that accumulates behind an ice dam can cause moisture to seep through the roof, resulting in damaged ceilings, walls and floors and eventually mold growth. Ice dams and their accompanying icicles are also heavy objects that can cause severe damage or even death when they slide or fall off a roof.

Ease of Installation

Low voltage flat 12″ or 9″ wide heating mat designed to be installed underneath the roof shingles. The heating elements are protected by a chemically inherently inert and dielectric insulation so the heating element can be installed under most types of roofing material. The lightweight heating elements are delivered in a roll and can be cut to size and field wired on the job site for easy installation.

Benefits

  • Prevents Ice Dams
  • Prevent Dangerous Icicles
  • Prevents Snow buildup
  • Uses 30-60% less energy than deicing cable systems

FEATURES

  • Strong thin and flexible lightweight element
  • Can bend elements around corners to fit roof construction
  • Compatible with most types of roofing materials
  • Elements can be stapled/nailed through
  • Safe low-voltage configuration
  • 10 year warranty
