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.

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.
