Frost protection of roof and gutters

Roofs, Gutters, and Downpipes

Older buildings are obvious victims of ice and snow capable of destroying fronts, roofs, drainpipes, and roof gutters.

Old roofs are often poorly insulated or based on insufficient constructions, and these aspects enable water to enter the building. When the winter frost sets in, damages are inevitable. 

DEVI provides a high-tech heating solution to efficiently fight ice and snow
A DEVI ice and snow melting system for roofs consists of a heating cable, an electronic thermostat and installation accessories.

DEVI’s ice and snow melting system for roofs can be installed in virtually any type of roof construction.

The wide range of DEVI products provide the possibility to apply the system on metal, bitumen, gravelled or tile roofs.
Depending on the problem, the DEVI system can be applied on the roof edge, drain pipes, roof gutters and valleys.

Sound investment

An ice and snow melting system from DEVI is an investment in comfort and safety, making concerns about sudden building damages and driver and pedestrian safety unnecessary.

In addition, the heating system is a financially sound investment as roofs, drainpipes, and roof gutters are always expensive to renovate after a harsh winter. As the costs of an ice and snow melting system correspond more or less to the renovation expenses of one winter season, a fast return on investment is guaranteed.

Product choise:
The choice of cable, thermostat and sensor depends to some extent on the size, type and construction of the roof and to the requirements of the installation. Basically, we recommend the use of a Deviflex™ DTCE-30 or Devi-Iceguard-18.
When it comes to thermostats, we recommend Devireg™ 316 with an outdoor sensor for minor roof and gutter systems where as larger roof and gutter systems a Devireg™ 850, which consists of a combinded moisture and temperature sensor, should be used.
The sensor types used for roofs and roof gutters are outdoor temperature sensors, moisture sensors for roof gutters and wire sensors, all depending on the type of installation.    

Outdoor systems

DEVI’s ice and snow melting systems provide safe traffic during the winter months and safety against damages on buildings and roads during the winter.

DEVI’s systems take care of the problems before they arise and in that way provide security and safety in an environmental balanced way
