THE RADIANT EDGE™ PREVENTS ICICLE FORMATIONS AND ICE DAMS
Summit Ice Melt Systems’ Radiant Edge was developed to answer the overwhelming need for a safe, reliable, effective, and truly energy-efficient means to eliminate dangerous ice dams and icicles.
Radiant Edge focuses heat to right where it’s needed: the eave edge. No need to waste energy by heating the entire roof. Leave that old-school myth behind and find out how the Radiant Edge system works.
WHAT ARE ICE DAMS AND WHY SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED?
Ice dams are a natural occurrence in snow country. They form when certain conditions co-exist. During these conditions, dangerous icicle and heavy ice formations develop.
Ice dams leak and cause interior damage and toxic mold. Ice formations fall off roofs and damage property and can kill or seriously injure people. Our nearly forty years’ experience with ice dams allows us to really examine how they are formed and know what it takes to prevent them.
