Can this system be paired with other Heatizon products?

Yes. For complete winter weather protection on a rooftop or elevated deck, the pedestal paver system integrates naturally with other Heatizon products. Invizimelt and ZMesh can protect surrounding roof membrane and low-slope areas, while GutterMelt addresses gutters and downspouts. Using these systems together eliminates all potential drainage blockage points in a single, coordinated installation.

How does this system help with drainage on rooftop terraces?

Snow and ice accumulation on rooftop pedestal paver installations can block drainage pathways, leading to standing water, ice dams, and structural loading concerns. Heatizon’s system melts snow and ice at the paver surface, allowing meltwater to flow freely through the gaps between pavers and into the roof’s drainage system. For complete drainage protection, the pedestal paver system can be combined with Heatizon’s Invizimelt, ZMesh, or GutterMelt products to address drains, gutters, and surrounding surfaces.

Does Heatizon provide design assistance for pedestal paver projects?

Yes. Heatizon offers full project design assistance and ongoing project support for pedestal paver snow melting installations. This includes reviewing project drawings, calculating heating loads, confirming paver and pedestal compatibility, and providing installation layouts. This service is included with the system package and is designed to ensure correct performance from installation through operation.

What comes included in the complete system package?

The Heatizon pedestal paver snow melting system is sold as a complete, patented package. Each package includes: the insulated heating pans, the Hott-Wire line-voltage mineral-insulated heating cable, GFEP-protected relay panel(s), an automatic snow/ice detection activator, installation layout drawings, and select accessories. Note that pedestals themselves are not included, as these are typically sourced separately based on project specifications.

Which pedestal systems is this product compatible with?

Heatizon’s snow melting system is compatible with leading pedestal systems used in commercial and residential construction. The system ships with project-specific layout drawings to ensure correct fit. Contact Heatizon’s design team for confirmation of compatibility with a specific pedestal brand or profile.

What paver sizes are compatible with this system?

The Heatizon pedestal paver system accommodates several common paver sizes. Because the heating pan is engineered to fit beneath the paver rather than being embedded in it, variations in paver dimensions are not an obstacle. Heatizon’s design team provides system layouts specific to each project, confirming compatibility with the pavers and pedestal system in use before installation begins.

Can this system be retrofitted to an existing pedestal paver installation?

Yes. Heatizon’s pedestal paver heating system is designed to be retrofitted into existing pedestal paver installations. The heating pans are sized to accommodate a range of common paver dimensions, so in most cases the pavers can be lifted, the pans installed beneath them, and the pavers relaid — without requiring full demolition or replacement of the pedestal substructure.

What voltage options are available for this system?

Heatizon’s pedestal paver snow melting system supports 208V, 240V, 277V, and 480V supply voltages. This range of compatibility ensures the system can be integrated into most commercial and residential electrical configurations without requiring a dedicated transformer or voltage conversion.

How does the heat transfer from the cable to the paver surface?

The Heatizon pedestal paver system uses an custom engineered aluminum insulated pan that sits directly beneath each paver. The Hott-Wire heating cable runs inside the pan, and because the pan is insulated on the underside, heat is directed upward into the paver rather than lost downward. This focused transfer makes the system more energy-efficient than systems without directional insulation, and allows the paver surface itself to act as the melting surface.

What is a pedestal paver snow melting system?

A pedestal paver snow melting system is an electric radiant heating solution designed for elevated, open-air spaces where pavers sit on adjustable pedestals — such as rooftop terraces, decks, and plaza surfaces. Heatizon’s patented system fits an insulated heating pan beneath each paver, containing a Hott-Wire mineral-insulated heating cable. When activated, the cable heats the pan, which transfers warmth directly up through the paver surface to melt accumulated snow and ice, keeping drainage pathways clear and the space safe to use year-round.
