Snow Melting Roof Deicing 

Floor Warming & Space Heating 

Radiant Heat and a Healthy Home

Did you know radiant in floor heating can create a healthier environment? Where forced air systems circulate dust and particles, floor heat provides radiant comfort without the extras.

Tips for Installing: Fixed Length Systems

When installing radiant heat for snow melting or floor warming, one factor that significantly impacts the process is whether the cable is fixed length or cut to fit in the field.

ZMesh: 9″ or 12″?

Our ZMesh for floor warming and roof deicing comes in two widths, 9” and 12”. These options are not necessarily for varying the size of coverage, the major difference is actually related to heat output.

The History of ZMesh [Timeline]

Heatizon ZMesh has a long and successful history of floor warming, space heating, and roof deicing. Its unique construction allows the bronze mesh to be nailed or stapled through during installation, making it ideal for heating under carpet, wood floors, or non-conductive shingles. The system is listed to ETL standards for interior floor and space heat, as well as roof deicing beneath non-conductive materials.

LEED Credits with Heatizon

At Heatizon Systems, we’ve designed radiant heating products that support green concepts, like sustainability, use of fewer natural resources, and energy-efficiency. So, while you enjoy comfortable, radiant heat and lower home maintenance costs, Heatizon will help you protect the environment.

5 Signs You Have an Ice Dam

Ice dams are formed when interior heat escapes and warms the roof. The melting snow then runs to the colder eave, where it refreezes. This process can cause severe damage to your roof, and potentially expose your interior to water damage.

Heated Road in Jackson Hole

In this case study, we look at the work that went into heating the cabins at this resort, as well as installing a snow melt system in the road.

ASHRAE and Snow Melting

At Heatizon, we don’t believe in a one size fits all approach to snow melting. Along with our distributors, we use data from the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) in the design of each snow melting system we sell.

What is a Product Listing?

At Heatizon Systems, we regularly state that all of our products are listed. What does it mean to have a product listed? Why does a listing matter to a customer? And what do acronyms like ETL, UL, CSA, OSHA, and NRTL mean?

Installing in Cold Weather

Due to the extreme winter some regions have experienced this year, we are seeing a rising number of roof collapses due to snow load problems.

Many of these are flat roofs on commercial buildings. Our ZMesh and Tuff Cable products are one solution to snow load problems. Easily installed under a variety of roofing materials, including membranes, they can be used to provide drainage paths, melt trouble spots, and keep the roof clear.

How Much Snow Did You Shovel This Year?

Hint: It isn’t measured in pounds.

Let’s take a look at how significant all this snow really is.

Radiant Heat and Wood Floors

Heatizon’s ZMesh product is perfect for heating wood floors. It easily rolls out and can be nailed or stapled through when the floor is laid over the top. ZMesh provides a precise and even heat that takes the luxury of wood floors to a new level.

Installing in Cold Weather

Winter may be here in force, but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the benefits of radiant heat. Many of our products can be installed during the winter. The cold weather is also the perfect time to identify trouble spots and plan ahead for installing during the warmer months.

Our GutterMelt heat trace cable can be installed at temperatures as low as 40° F, making it possible to address any ice dam problems that may arise. Our other deicing products can also be installed, weather permitting.

Our heated driveway systems can also be installed in cold weather. Minimum installation temperatures for concrete or any sealants used should be met.

Any interior work can go ahead as normal on a cold winter day, so get started on those heated floors!

What Type of Flooring Can Be Installed Over Radiant Heat?

A common question we see goes something like this:

“What kind of flooring can I install over my radiant heat?”

ZMesh Under Hardwood Flooring

12” ZMesh Heating Element is the ideal system for heating under hardwood floors. ZMesh can be installed directly under the hardwood flooring. Nails or staples to hold the hardwood covering may be driven directly through the ZMesh as long as the nails or staples do not come in contact with any other metal object.

Retiring Baby Boomers Driving Interest in Snow Melting Systems

The population of the United States is aging. The number of individuals over 65 is on the rise, and as baby boomers begin to retire, these numbers are expected to increase dramatically. It is estimated that by 2030, this age group will make up 20% of the population.

Heatizon has been
recommending its low voltage roof ice melt systems that are installed under the roofing material since 1979. There are 3 different methods to install these systems depending on the application and also these systems can be customized to fit an size or area. Heatizon roof solutions offer ice dam mitigation, icicle control, snow load control, and provide drain paths for water, providing a long term solution with industry leading technology. Heatizon low voltage roof de-icing systems have a 25 year warranty.
Protected under the roof
ZMesh is a bronze screen low voltage heating element that can be nailed and stapled through. ZMesh can be installed under any non-conductive shingle or membrane roof material. Tuff Cable is installed in a Heatsink Kit or Invizimelt Panel system.
Tuff Cable is installed under conductive roofing, decks or membrane surfaces. Tuff Cable can produce more heat that ZMesh which is essential for metal surfaces due to rapid heat transfer and loss. Both of these systems are cut to length in the field.
Invisible! These systems are invisible to the eye, installed under the shingles, membrane, metal, or any roof covering. The longevity of Heatizon low voltage roof and deck de-icing systems are unmatched.
