What are the two main applications for ZMesh?

ZMesh serves two distinct applications: under-shingle roof deicing and ice dam prevention, and radiant floor and space heating. For roof applications, ZMesh is installed beneath non-conductive shingles, membranes, and wood decking to melt snow and ice from eaves and valleys. For floor applications, ZMesh is installed beneath virtually any non-conductive floor covering — including hardwood, tile, stone, carpet, engineered wood, linoleum, and vinyl — to provide even, comfortable radiant warmth. Both applications use the same physical element; the installation method and wattage configuration differ by use case.

What is ZMesh and what is it made of?

ZMesh is a woven bright bronze metal mesh heating element manufactured by Heatizon Systems. It resembles screen door material in appearance and is approximately 1/16 inch thick, available in 9-inch and 12-inch widths and in lengths from 50 to 400 feet. The bronze construction is highly durable, fully recyclable, and designed to outlast the roofing or flooring installed above it. ZMesh has been in continuous production and use since 1979.

Do you carry Gutter Heating Cables?

Our gutter heating cables (GutterMelt) are the ideal solutions for preventing dangerous and damaging snow and ice forming.  It is recommended that gutter melting cables be used in conjunction with our roof systems.  Our cable systems are also activated by automatic sensors that sit in the gutter.  And conserve energy by only turning on when necessary.

What is Tuff Cable roof ice melt?

Tuff Cable is a resistance heating wire that is very durable, 10 gauge coated copper cable that is chemical resistant and comes with footage marks on the wire.  The Tuff Cable has been engineered to work as a low-voltage system.

Is ZMesh approved for roof applications?
