Long icicles, frost erosions, heavy dunes of snow - Older buildings are a visible testament to the damaging effects of ice and snow which can destroy fronts, roofs, drainpipes, and gutters. Old roofs are often poorly insulated or have substandard support structures, and such shortcomings can enable water to enter the building. Once winter frost sets in, damage is often inevitable. Industrial buildings with flat roofs, on the other hand, often give in to excessive loads generated by accumulations of water, ice, or snow.

Danfoss provides a high-tech heating solution aimed at fighting ice and snow accumulations. A Danfoss ice and snow melting system for roofs consists of a heating cable, an electronic thermostat and installation accessories. Danfoss ice and snow melting system for roofs can be installed in virtually any type of roof construction for private, business and institutional customers. The wide range of Danfoss products provide the possibility to apply the system on metal, bitumen, gravelled or tile roofs. Depending on the problem, the Danfoss system can be applied on the roof edge, drain pipes, roof gutters and valleys.
