Heatizon Z-mesh

By Dymon BradyA lot of home owners experience dangerous ice and snow build up on roofs. The most commonly asked questions are: what is the solution? What system will work best with my roof? How long will it last?Two of the most common deicing systems are heatizon z-mesh and heat tape. Heatizon z-mesh is a flat heating element that is placed underneath the roof material in strips for a more even heating surface. Heat tape is a cable that is applied on top of current roofing material in a serpentine pattern. While effective at melting snow and ice, it does create uneven melting patterns.Do you have snow and/or ice build up? Heatizon z-mesh has a convenient automatic activation device that allows it to sense when the temperature is cold, as well as detecting moisture in the air. Its low voltage usage, along with the automatic activation, makes this system cost effective and efficient.Heatizon z-mesh can be applied to most roofing systems including membrane, asphalt shingles, tile and wooden shakes. It’s safe to nail and staple making the installation process easier and more proficient.Another thing to consider is the aesthetics of the copper mesh. How will the product affect the over-all look of your home? Heatizon z-mesh is applied under the roof material leaving no unsightly cables. Your roof will look just as beautiful as it would without an installed heating system. Heat tape is applied on top of existing roof materials creating unsightly serpentine patterns.Other benefits of installing the heatizon z-mesh deicing system is having the peace of mind that it has been installed underthe roof material preventing problems such as it shifting from the weight of the snow or being ripped off completely. This will save time and money from costly repairs or replacements.While heatizon z-mesh does cost more than the more common method of heat tape, it is a smart choice for home owners looking for lasting deicing solutions. Not only will heatizon z-mesh keep your roof line looking its best, it will also last the life of your roof.When installing any type of roof heating system it is important to have an electrician connect the power supply to the ice melt system.
