ICICLE PREVENTION WITH PERMATHAW SYSTEM
FIRST CORRECT THE TRUE PROBLEM Icicles are caused from inadequate insulation and ventilation. When snow on the roof melts from heat from within the attic it runs down the roof to the eve where it no longer receives the warmer temperature and refreezes. Sometimes this can cause ice dams in the gutter or gutter protection.
If there is no way to correct the problem and the need to eliminate icicles is still apparent, Permathaw can be added to the Gutter Hood Protection System.
PermaThaw helps prevent damage to roofs and gutters from ice and snow buildup. PermaThaw uses a low level of radiant heat to keep your gutters free of ice and snow. It's safe and effective.
Keeps Your Gutters Flowing
While no system can completely eliminate snow and ice form the roof, PermaThaw keeps your gutters free of ice. That means melting snow can flow freely and get carried away in your gutter. Ice doesn't have a chance to build up.
Protection That's invisible
Best of all, as part of our exclusive gutter protection system, PremaThaw is invisible. And Since it is attached to your gutter rather than your roof, you won't need to nail unsightly cables to your roof... leaving holes that can leak over time.
