Why ThermaLine

ThermaLine: Intelligent Ice Defense

ThermaLine systems are engineered to prevent ice based hazards before they start. The three-sided raceway compresses heat cable directly against the panel, delivering efficient heat transfer and consistent melting performance.

 

This design allows ThermaLine systems to melt using significantly less heat cable than traditional zig-zag heat tape systems.

 

Let’s break it down:

Energy Efficient

  • Replacing your heat tape with ThermaLine can generate savings of up to 65%. 
  • Our attractive panels run parallel to the eave instead of old, perpendicular zig-zag.
  • This design enables us to typically protect the same area with ⅓ of the cable.

Reduces Risk

  • ThermaLine defends against structural damage as well as ‘slip and fall’ hazards.
  • The patented designs are the only heated ice melt panels to be awarded a UL listing.
  • Installation is performed with commercial-grade adhesive and does not require roof puncture.
  •  

Highly Durable

  • Cable maintenance can be easily performed without damaging your roof or your panels.
  • ThermaLine cable is protected in the panel, decreasing expected maintenance to just once every 10 years.
  • Heat tape is exposed to the elements, increasing expected maintenance to every 2 years.

The Problem with Legacy Ice Melt Solutions

Ice dams and icicles can cause serious damage to roofs, buildings, and surrounding property. From leaks and structural stress to safety hazards, the risks can be significant.

 

Many building owners rely on temporary methods or outdated systems to deal with ice dams. While these approaches may offer short-term relief, they do not address the root cause of the problem. These methods are often time-consuming, costly, and require repeated use every winter.

 

Traditional ice melt systems such as exposed zig-zag heat cables often fail to provide consistent heat coverage along the roof edge. As a result, they typically require up to 50% more heat cable than a ThermaLine system, increasing energy costs while still leaving areas vulnerable to ice buildup. Plus, those cables are an eyesore.

 

Common temporary solutions include:
  • Plug-and-play heat trace cables
  • Shoveling or raking snow
  • Calcium chloride
  • High-pressure steam removal
  • Attic insulation adjustments

Bottom line:

ThermaLine out lasts and out-looks the competition. Our panels are more efficient and last far longer than traditional heat tape. Plus, they look great on your roof.
