Contractors rely on ProLine for a wide variety of snow and ice melting applications. ProLine snow melting systems are among the best in their class, and the systems are easy to customize, making them ideal to homeowners with a variety of needs. ProLine offers professional builders a host of radiant heat solutions. Some of these solutions include:
Roof De-icing Options
ProLine roof de-icing solutions range from custom self-regulating heat cable applications to the industry-leading low-voltage de-icing system. Heated aluminum panels and other options are also available. While the low-voltage system is the most popular and ideal for keeping entire roof eaves, valleys, and other areas free of snow and ice, self-regulating heat cable is perhaps the most in-demand roof heating product. The cable can be easily routed where needed, and these systems are also the most affordable.
Snow Melting System Options
Electric snow melting systems can tailored to meet the specific snow melting and budget needs of home and business owners. The systems can be installed to heat driveways, sidewalks, steps, ramps, loading docks, and so much more.

Homeowners particularly appreciate the custom options when it comes to heating their driveways. The systems can be installed to heat entire driveways, or two 24-inch-wide heated tire tracks can be installed. This is an affordable yet highly effective option. Or, just portions of the driveway can be heated. Heat cable can be installed to heat virtually any size or shape of area, so consumers can simply install a snow melting system on a “problem” incline, or area(s) where ice typically forms.
Floor Heating Options
ProLine also offers a wide range of floor heating options. The systems can be used to heat virtually all types of flooring, from vinyl and hardwood to ceramic tile and stone. The floor heating elements include systems with thin heat cable as well as neat paper-thin sheets and low-voltage panels. Call a ProLine representative today to learn more about the many floor heating options that are available.
ProLine works with building professionals, and distributes its products through wholesalers, so the prices are significantly discounted. The wholesale pricing is backed by unprecedented customer support services.

When it comes to protecting roofs (and pedestrians), there are several roof de-icing options available from ProLine. Customers can heat entire roofs, roof eaves, or simply keep roof valleys and gutters free from snow and ice.
ProLine roof heating systems can be fully automated, and they’re not difficult to install. The systems range from individual lengths of self-regulating heat cable to heated aluminum panels and thin, low-voltage heating panels that can be installed discreetly under the roof shingles.
Typical automated roof heating systems utilize a main snow/ice sensor that activates the de-icing system when moisture is detected and the temperature is below the adjustable setpoint. This results in a very cost-effective solution for heating large areas of the roof. ProLine’s master control unit is the industry’s premier control unit, and is ideally suited for virtually all types of residential and commercial applications.
Outdoor temperature sensors can be used on roofs and in roof gutters. Moisture sensors and wire sensors are normally fitted inside gutters where the melted runoff collects. The number and placement of these sensors depends on the size and nature of each individual roof de-icing system.
The Most Popular Options
The two most common roof de-icing options are ProLine’s low-voltage heating panels, and self-regulating heat cables. Both systems have proven extremely reliable and effective. The ideal system for your customers’ installation depends on their specific needs.

ProLine’s low-voltage roof de-icing system is extremely popular among professional roofers. This system features thin (only 3/64-inch thick), flexible polymer heating panels that are polypropylene fused during fabrication for added protection from alkaline, UV rays and salt. The panels are designed to be installed under the shingles or roofing material. (This system is also safe to heat metal roofs.)
Another advantage of the low-voltage panels is that they are self-regulating, so the heating element efficiently increases the heat output as the outside temperature falls and decreases the heat output as the temperature rises. The heating element can also be nailed or stapled through, and cut on site. (However, take care to avoid nailing through the bus braids at the edges of the heating element.) Low-voltage panels are available in widths of 3, 9, and 12-inches.
The low-voltage system includes an activation device (snow sensor) and a step-down transformer. Each transformer is responsible for a specific section of the de-icing system, and can step down from high voltage to low voltage (60V or less). It is the source for monitoring the power and output to the system heating element to ensure safe, accurate performance. ProLine’s low-voltage system is one of the most advanced and efficient roof heating systems on the market today.
ProLine self-regulating heat cable is the most affordable option for home and business owners who are looking to eliminate ice dams and trouble spots on their roof. Self-regulating roof and gutter heating cable features advanced technology that results in highly effective, energy efficient operation. The irradiated conductive core increases its heat output as the temperature falls, and decreases its output when the temperature rises. The heat cable’s self-regulating core ensures that the cable will also not overheat or burnout if the cable is overlapped or touching. The durable heat cable can be easily installed along roof edges and in gutters and downspouts to facilitate runoff.

By zigzagging the heat cable along the roof eaves, channels are provided for runoff so that no ice dams form. The cable is also commonly installed in roof valleys as well as specific areas that are typically problem spots during the winter. Self-regulating heat cable can be easily installed to heat specific areas, and the systems are very affordable.
A great advantage of working with ProLine is that customers not only receive radiant heat solutions at wholesale prices, but that the systems are backed by preeminent customer support services. ProLine includes free installation training, professional system design, and technical support for installers.
These services have established ProLine as an industry leader, and are responsible for a great deal of repeat business from contractors and professional builders. Contractors know that when they install ProLine radiant heat solutions, they’ll receive dedicated, personal support throughout the installation process.
ProLine offers a wide variety of industry-leading roof heating products and de-icing solutions. For more information about ProLine’s self-regulating heat cable and other roof heating systems, contact a radiant heat professional today. Call 866-676-9276 today.
What are the Options for Installing a Driveway Heating System?
When it comes to radiant heat installations, there are many custom options that are available to your customers. While many homeowners may express a desire to have a radiant heated driveway, many assume that the systems are financially out of reach, and leave it at that. Intimidated by the imagined cost, they abandon any thoughts of learning more about the systems; and instead, they upgrade their old plastic snow shovel with a new, poly blade shovel with double ergonomic grip.
What many potential customers don’t realize is that radiant snow melting systems can be easily customized to accommodate everything from performance and layout to the customers’ budget. Instead of being discouraged by the perceived cost of an automated snow melting system, homeowners can work with you (and ProLine), and be matched with the system that is ideal for their needs.
Radiant snow melting systems can be installed in all the common mediums, including concrete, asphalt, and pavers. (A heat cable with a special outer jacket is available for hot asphalt installations.) Existing driveways can even be retrofitted with a radiant heat system.
So, while homeowners dream about having an automated heated driveway, they don’t have to give up on that dream because of preconceived notions regarding cost. Driveway heating systems can be easily customized according to the customer’s budget needs.
Some of the general layout options for driveway heating systems are listed below:
Heat entire areas – Many homeowners prefer heating the entire driveway. Heat cable can be installed to keep driveways, sidewalks, steps, ramps and other outdoor areas completely free of snow and ice. Radiant snow melting systems can be tailored to meet the customer’s specific demands, and are designed to be installed in a wide variety of applications, including concrete, asphalt, and pavers.
Heat only the trafficked areas – Another popular option for homeowners is to install radiant heat only in the commonly trafficked areas. For example, rather than heating the entire driveway, two 24-inch-wide tire tracks can be installed, or an 8-foot strip in the middle of the driveway can be heated. Heated tire tracks are especially popular for homeowners looking to heat a long driveway, have power restrictions, or are looking to keep within a tight budget. These options can save customers installation costs as well as operational costs because less surface area is being heated.
Heat only small, select areas – Radiant heat systems are easy to customize, and can be installed to heat just about any layout. Small footpaths can be heated as well as odd shaped areas. Heating cable can be installed to heat disability ramps, outdoor steps, patios, sidewalks, and even dog kennels, dog runs, and more. The applications are virtually limitless. In addition to electric radiant heat systems, ProLine also offers customers hydronic radiant heat solutions.
