ProLine Simplifies Life for Construction Professionals

Wholesale Pricing and Unmatched Support Services Simplify Radiant Heat Installations for Contractors

When I first learned about ProLine and their wholesale pricing discounts, I figured I’d be an idiot if I didn’t check out their radiant heating products. Sure, the prices of their products were tempting, but before I jumped on the bandwagon, I did my homework. I decided to ask around and learn more about the quality of their products.

After some investigating, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the quality of ProLine’s self-regulating roof de-icing cable, driveway snow melting cable, and system components was pretty much equal to those of the industry’s top, established manufacturers. In some cases, the components were exactly the same, and in other cases, the argument could be made that ProLine’s quality was even better than that of the industry heavyweights. Could it be that the old guard had become a little complacent? Who knows what the reason is, but it’s apparent that just over a decade ago, ProLine burst onto the scene with a vengeance. Fortunately, their arrival has benefitted contractors and construction professionals throughout Northern America.

ProLine works with contractors and building professionals, but distributes through wholesalers, so the prices are significantly discounted. The wholesale pricing was a key strategy that allowed ProLine to make its introductory splash in the industry, but the company rounded out its business plan with its commitment to offering top-quality products, backed by unprecedented customer support services.

Who Does That?

Personal end-user customer services from wholesale suppliers were virtually unheard of back in the day, but ProLine has changed the game. The typical business model for wholesalers is one that omits the need to accommodate any customer service needs of the end user. But ProLine flipped that rule upside down. ProLine includes services such as professional system design, free installation training, and technical support. By offering those services, ProLine changed the wholesale scene, and the company continues to take the lead when it comes to customer service. By consistently providing the best quality products, backed by comprehensive customer support services, ProLine has established itself as an industry leader, and a provider upon which construction professionals can rely.

ProLine snow melting systems feature durable heat cable off the spool or in mats. The cable off the spool is available for installations with 3- and 4-inch spacing (and custom spacing upon request) to create the ideal custom wattage per square foot for the customer. The snow melting heating mats feature cable that is pre-spaced for accurate spacing and fast, easy installation.

Heated driveways are easy to customize and install. ProLine systems have been installed to keep public transportation hubs clear of snow and ice, as well as to heat driveways, ramps, outdoor steps, parking areas, and more.

ProLine is also one of the largest suppliers of self-regulating heat cable. Self-regulating heat cable is typically used for roof de-icing applications as well as pipe trace free prevention systems. Several types of cable are available for a wide variety of de-icing needs. A thin, low-voltage heating panel that can be installed under roof shingles is also available. The popular system is often used to keep entire roof eaves and valleys free from snow and ice.

In addition to its many custom outdoor applications, ProLine is also a popular supplier of radiant floor heating systems. A variety of heating elements and system components are available. ProLine floor heating systems range from thin heat cable to paper-thin “film” heating mats that can be installed directly under floating floors, without the need for adhesives or mortar.
