Introduction
Radiant Edge is a roof edge ice melt system that minimizes ice formations
on the following applications:
• Roofs made from standard roofing materials, including shakes,
shingles, rubber, hot tar, wood, metal, and plastic.
• Gutters and downspouts made from standard materials, including
metal and plastic.
The guide does not cover applications in which any of the following
conditions exist:
• Preventing snow movement on roofs — Radiant Edge will not keep
snow or ice from falling off the roof. Radiant Edge is designed to minimize
ice formations and safely remove melt water from roof eaves. Snow fences
or snow guards should be used to eliminate snow movement.
• Melting snow off a roof and/or reduction of snow load. Radiant Edge is
designed to melt ice, not accumulated snow.
HotSlot is intended for lighter ice and snow conditions on certain metal and
composition shingle roofs. If conditions warrant, consider the more robust,
patented Radiant Edge PRO
TM
or LT
TM
ice melt systems.
For the names of manufacturers of snow guards or snow fences, contact
