Eliminate Icicles & Ice Dams from Your Building
Winter weather can present unique challenges for commercial and industrial buildings, including the buildup of snow and ice on roofs and gutters. nVent RAYCHEM high-performing electric roof and gutter de-icing systems offer solutions to melt ice, without interrupting the aesthetics of your building.
Reliable, Proven, Tough
Most roofs can only withstand 20 lbs per ft / 27 kg per m of snow before collapse becomes a concern. Self-regulating roof de-icing systems are one solution to maintain a continuous path for melting water to drain safely.
nVent RAYCHEM self-regulating roof heating cables can be installed for a variety of climates and are designed to handle severe weather, such as high wind speeds, low temperatures and heavy snow loads. These systems are also compatible with roof types, including:
- Shingle
- Rubber
- Tar
- Bitument
- Wood
- Metal
- Plastic
Even in complex or unique roofing design, nVent RAYCHEM cut-to-measure cables have a solution to melt the ice.
