STEP Roof De-icing™ 9" (22.9cm) wide radiant heating element is designed to solve problems with snow buildup and ice damming on roofs, valleys and eaves. Make sure you provide proper drainage for the melted ice and snow.
STEP Roof De-icing™ is protected by a 2-mil chemically, inherently inert and dielectric insulation so that the heating element can be installed under all types of roofing materials, including metal roofs. The element does not have slots.
This heating element is designed for areas that require more narrow elements, 9” instead of 12” (30 cm) due to available width.
Features
Technical Specifications
Ordering Information
Strong, thin and flexible lightweight element with an impermeable membrane that protects against physical damages and aggressive materials
The elements are designed and typically installed underneath the roof shingles and can be stapled or nailed through without damaging them
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
Tip for ultimate energy savings; install Heat Retention mat between heating elements and the metal roof
