With snow melting systems and gutter heating systems, snow and icing on the roofs can be prevented in winter. Roof and gutter heating system can be applied on the roof, gutters or parts that drain the rain. The main goal is to take precautions against possible icing and snow accumulation. In this way, possible cracks and collapses are prevented, the life of the roof is extended and freezing is prevented. No snow accumulation or icing occurs on the roof, eaves or gutters.
What Does Snow and Ice Melting Systems Do and How Are They Applied?
The system applied to the edges of the roof helps to protect the pipes and the roof, and the melting snow is poured out without any leakage. The snow melting system , which consumes less energy and provides convenience in terms of cost, senses the weather conditions and takes action and does not work in vain. While applying the system, resistance cables, net, control panel, heat sensors, mounting materials are used, which are provided by the intermediary firm. The company you want to apply a snow and ice melting system to your roof can also provide you with consultancy services.
How does it work?
Sensors that detect low temperature enable the system to turn on. The heating cable is activated and existing areas are heated. Thanks to the discharge pipe, the water formed by the melting snow flows and icing does not occur. When the humidity and air temperature increase, the smart system is deactivated. In addition, snow and ice melting systems can be applied on roads other than the roof, but the principle of that system is slightly different. It is possible to use mattresses in roof and gutter heating systems, just as they are used on roads.
Usage areas
You can have snow and ice melting systems applied to the roofs to ensure continuous water flow in the gutters and pipes, to prevent frostbite and pipe cracking due to freezing, and to protect the building from the negative effects of the winter season. Repairing the damage to the roofs is a very costly and laborious task.
In addition, if icing occurs, the stalactites can fall and damage vehicles and persons. Gutter heating and snow melting systems, which are necessary to prevent all these damages, can be easily used on roof edges, gutters, discharge pipes, both in residences and public buildings as well as in all kinds of historical and commercial buildings.
