STEP Gutter De-icing™ 3" wide radiant heating element is designed to solve problems with snow buildup, ice damming and creation of icicles. Make sure you provide proper drainage for the melted ice and snow in gutters.
STEP Gutter De-icing™ is protected by a 2-mil chemically, inherently inert and dielectric insulation so that the heating element can be installed directly in the gutter and in the downspout. This element can be used in the downspout to drain the water that would otherwise freeze in the gutters.

Strong, thin and flexible lightweight element with an impermeable membrane that protects against physical damages and aggressive materials
Operates on 24 volts (AC/DC); Connect to a power supply, solar or wind power
Self-regulating; As the material gets warmer, less electricity passes through the plastic – therefore it is extremely energy-efficient
Easy to install; roll out the elements and cut to size on the job site, connect wires to power supply and elements
Maintenance-free when installed
