BriskHeat SpeedTrace Roof & Gutter De-Icing Kits are designed to prevent the formation of ice dams on rooftops by using an electric self-regulating roof heat cable system. The roof heating cables melt away excessive ice and snow from the roof, gutters, and downspouts to ensure proper draining. Stop Roof and Gutter ice today, with BriskHeat! Select your configuration below of our SpeedTrace cable kit; available in various cable lengths and voltages.
Available in 110-120 VAC and 208-277 VAC
Complete with heating cable, roof clips, downspout hangers and cable ties needed to install your de-icing system
Provides easy installation with its pre-assembled 3-prong plug, grounded for safety
Not suitable for flat, slate, stone, ceramic, composite tar/gravel roofs
GFCI protected circuit, local code approved outlet (power source) within close proximity to the heating cable starting point, and protected form the weather
Winter can be a challenging season for property and business owners, especially when it comes to protecting their buildings from the cold, snow, and ice. From frozen pipes, gutters, and roofs, the winter months can cause significant damage to your property. Check out these 4 reasons why prepping your space in the warmer months is ideal.
The semi-conductive core material contains a graphite network, which allows electricity to flow from one bus wire to the other. When the core is dense and colder, there are many paths for electricity to take through the graphite network, producing more heat.
Since the core material expands as it heats, the graphite network is elongated, disrupting some of the paths. More and more paths are disrupted as heating continues until the system reaches self-controlled thermal stability. When the core material cools, it contracts, reconnecting some of the electrical paths in the graphite network, and more equivalent heat is produced.
This temperature response occurs independently at each point along the heater. If an externally produced high temperature occurs next to a low temperature in the cable, each section of heating cable will adjust its own heat output in relation to its own local requirements.
Ice Dams are Ice buildups that form on a rooftop due to the inherent temperature differences between heated spaces and roof overhangs. [1] Naturally, some heat loss occurs through an attic. As even a small amount of heat passes through the attic space it warms the roof. [2] Snow on the roof melts and runs under the insulating blanket of snow, until it reaches a cold section of the roof and freezes, beginning the formation of an ice dam. [3] More snow melts and cannot drain properly. Snow melt water then gets trapped, creating standing water on the rooftop. [4] Standing water then can enter a home or business by penetrating through roofing materials causing significant property damage
