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.

Hot Talk Newsletter – April 2013

So many times
we have heard the statements, “I wish I had known” or, “do you have something I can drive on?” or, “we just poured the concrete” and, “the asphalt is already down”.
We hear these statements when customers call us during the troubling winter months seeking a solution to their snow problem that melts from their		 mind as quickly as the snow does in the spring only to return the next snow season. We do have a solution that we have developed and recommended for snow melting applications on existing surfaces. The retrofit system using our low voltage Tuff Cable or line voltage Hott-Wire MI Cable products works wonders.
Heatizon has been
recommending its retrofit snow melting systems since 1979. It works by cutting grooves into the surface at specified widths and depths allowing the heating element to be placed in the bottom of the grooves rather than embedding them in a new slab or sand bed. Saw cuts are power washed to remove residue prior to cable installation. Once the cable has been placed in the groove, a backer rod is placed over the cable to insulate		 the cut which forces the heat to the sides, and finally the application is finished off by applying highway grade sealant into the grooves to seal them off. These systems are designed based on snow melting data by region from the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Heating elements are spaced on appropriate centers to generate the required heat output specified by ASHRAE.
No tearout! These systems are installed in any configuration, and heat output for Asphalt and Concrete surfaces. When snow melting systems are an afterthought these revolutionary retrofit systems do the job.
APPLICATIONS FEATURES
  • Driveways
  • Walkways
  • Access Ramps
  • Loading Docks
  • Entrances
  • Car/Truck Washes
  • Easily zoned areas
