HOTSHINGLE
HotShingle
The HotShingle™ Roof Ice Prevention System is engineered to prevent icicles and ice dams from forming on the roof edge on most asphalt shingle roofs. This revolutionary NEW patent-pending system is composed of the the HotSheet panel, the UL Listed HotEdge rail and a 12-watt commercial-grade self-regulating heat cable. HotShingle is designed for fast and easy installation on new or existing asphalt roofs.
The HotSheet panel fastens to the fascia and is positioned over the existing asphalt shingles on a roof to create a metal drip edge necessary for installation of the UL Listed HotEdge rail. The rail provides a containment system for the heat cable, allowing direct transfer of warmth to the metal drip edge to prevent refreezing of snowmelt and the formation of icicles and ice dams along the perimeter of the roof. No cutting, modifi cation, shingle removal, or penetration of the roof deck is required for installation.
