Question 1

How is Invizimelt installed on a new roof?

jallen · Accepted Answer

On new construction, Invizimelt panels are attached to the roof deck along eaves, valleys, crickets, dormers, and other ice dam-prone areas. Tuff Cable is snapped into the panel channels and covered with aluminum tape, which directs 100% of the heat upward through the panel. Ice/Water shield is applied over the Invizimelt system, the Tuff Cable is marked, to ensure it is not punctured. Finally, the roofing material — metal, membrane, or other covering — is then installed directly over the panels. At ¼ inch finished height, the panels create no visible ridges or bumps in the finished roof surface, and provide ample nailing and fastening surface for the roofing contractor.
