Ice & Snow Melting in Roofs and gutters
Snow that has built up on a roof will start to melt as a result of either exposure to the sun, or from heat rising from the building below. As the melted snow runs from the roof into cold gutters and drainpipes, it can re-freeze forming layers of ice which can continue to build up until the flow is blocked. This can result in damaged drains and gutters. Water can, in addition, get into the roof and building, leading to expensive structural damage such as broken roof tiles, damaged plaster and facades, etc.
The Solution
Warmfloor have the solution in the form of G-Trace extra. The self-regulating characteristics of the heating cable means that the cable can adjust it's heat output in accordance with it's temperature. It cannot overheat or burnout, even when overlapped. A G-trace system is easy to design and install. The cable is laid along the gutters and in drainpipes to keep water flowing freely
