Roof & Gutter De-Icing
Commercial roof & gutter de-icing systems are used to help prevent dangerous icicles & destructive ice dams from forming on your roof. By melting falling snow & keeping gutters clear, these systems will help to preserve the integrity of your roof while eliminating the potential danger associated with falling icicles.
The Problem
Ice dams can form dangerous icicles & cause water ingress into buildings. The ice dams form because melting snow & ice on a roof freeze when they reach the cold roof edge. The ice forms a barrier & melted water accumulates behind this ice dam. Pooled water behind the dam may leak into the building, causing water damage, or climb over the ice-filled gutter, forming icicles.
The Solution 
Raychem roof & gutter de-icing systems offer a better way to help prevent ice dams & icicles. With its self-regulating heating cable, Raychem systems provide a continuous drain path for melted ice & snow from the roof through the gutter & downspout. Versatile, reliable, energy-saving, & cost-effective, these systems are the effective answer for roof & gutter de-icing applications.
IceStop System
This system provides a continuous drain path for melted snow & ice from the roof to the gutter & out the downspout.
The IceStop System prevents the following:
• Interior Structural Damage - Ice dams on roof edges lead to water ingress.
• Exterior Damage to Gutters - Frozen gutters are heavy, leading to distortion or breakage.
• Falling Icicles - Icicles pose a threat & a liability to people & property.
• Slippery Walkways - Overfilled gutters allow water to fall on the ground & refreeze
