SOLVING THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH:
ICICLES, ROOF DAMMING, AND SNOW-ICE OVERLOADS*

TEK-SIL Roof Drainage Heated Mats: Keep Flat Roof Drains Clear

Prevent ice blockages at flat roof drains and scuppers with heated mats designed for 24/7 winter drainage protection. TEK-SIL Roof Drainage Mats are 2ft x 2ft (24" x 24") with a 6-inch center hole that fits over roof drains, providing full-surface heating around the drain opening to melt snow and ice before it blocks water flow.

Why This Matters for Commercial Flat Roofs

Blocked exterior drains can become coated with hundreds or thousands of pounds of ice, causing the roof to fill with water until it leaks or collapses. Unlike heating cables that provide narrow heat paths, TEK-SIL mats deliver consistent heat across the entire 4-square-foot area surrounding your drain, preventing ice formation at the source.

Product Specifications

  • Voltage Options: 120V or 240V (240V recommended for commercial applications)
  • Power Cord: 2 meters (80 inches) included
  • Applications: Flat roof drains, scuppers, roof drainage systems
  • Warranty: 2 years against defects and workmanship from shipping date

Heating Performance

  • Rapid heat-up for immediate snow melting
  • Weather-resistant construction for harsh winter conditions
  • Consistent temperature across entire mat surface eliminates cold spots
  • Can be controlled manually or automated with snow sensors, thermostats, Wi-Fi, or SMART systems

Control Options

  • Manual: Plug in when needed, unplug when not in use
  • Snow Sensor: Automatically activates when precipitation and freezing temperatures are detected (requires electrician installation or plug-and-play option available)
  • Thermostat: Turns on based on temperature thresholds
  • Wi-Fi/SMART Controls: Remote operation from phone or building management system
  • TENSIO System: Fully automated surveillance for large commercial projects where snow and ice overload is a serious factor

Securing Methods

  • Temporary/Seasonal: Lay mat in position (no adhesive needed)
  • Semi-Permanent: Double-sided roofing tape (available from KEMF)
  • Permanent: Wire lacing through grommets (spaced every 12 inches) using galvanized or stainless steel wire

Advanced Gutter and Roof Protection

Snow-melting gutter mats help protect roofs and gutters by preventing ice buildup and dangerous icicles. These heated mats maintain a consistent temperature, ensuring that snow and ice melt gradually instead of refreezing and causing blockages. By keeping gutters clear, they reduce the risk of ice dams, which can lead to roof leaks, structural damage, and heavy icicle formation. Additionally, they improve water drainage, preventing gutters from sagging or detaching due to excess ice weight. Installing snow-melting mats is a proactive way to extend the lifespan of your roofing system and reduce winter maintenance issues.

Advanced Protection

Cables vs Heated Mats

Heated cables and mats both help prevent ice buildup in gutters, but they work differently. Heated cables are thin, flexible wires that run along the gutters and downspouts, melting snow in specific paths. While effective, they often leave gaps where ice can still form. Heated mats, on the other hand, provide full surface coverage, ensuring even melting across gutters and roof edges. The main advantage of mats is their consistent heat distribution, which reduces the risk of ice dams and improves drainage more effectively than cables. Additionally, mats are often easier to install and more durable, making them a better long-term solution for winter roof protection.

STAY SAFE. STAY CLEAR - MELT ICE BEFORE IT APPEARS!

Prevent Ice Dams and Icicles

Heated snow-melting roof mats provide an effective solution for preventing ice dams and icicles, which can cause significant roof damage and safety hazards. By maintaining a consistent temperature, these mats melt snow and ice before it can accumulate, ensuring that water flows safely through the gutters instead of refreezing at the edges. This prevents heavy ice buildup, which can lead to roof leaks, structural damage, and falling icicles that pose a danger to people below. By improving water drainage and reducing ice formation, heated roof mats enhance safety, protect property, and minimize costly repairs during winter months.

F.A.Q.

How do heated mats differ from heating cables?

Heated cables are thin wires that run along gutters and downspouts, melting snow only in specific narrow paths. This often leaves gaps where ice can still form. TEK-SIL heated mats provide full surface coverage—4", 12", or 24" widths—ensuring even melting across the entire gutter or roof edge. The consistent heat distribution eliminates cold spots, reduces ice dam risk more effectively, and provides better long-term protection.

What size mat do I need for my gutters?

For standard gutters, use 4-inch width mats. Measure your gutter length to determine total footage needed. Mats are available in lengths from 5ft to 50ft, and multiple mats can be connected for longer runs. For roof edges and valleys where ice dams form, use 12-inch or 24-inch widths depending on problem severity. Wider mats (24") work best for areas with heavy snow accumulation or recurring ice dam issues.

Can I install these mats myself?

Yes. TEK-SIL mats are designed for DIY installation. For temporary seasonal use, simply lay mats in position. For semi-permanent installation, secure with double-sided roofing tape. For permanent installation, use wire lacing through the grommets (spaced every 12 inches) with galvanized or stainless steel wire. All mats come with a 2-meter (80-inch) power cord.

Do the mats turn on automatically or do Ineed to control them manually?

You have multiple control options. Mats can be plugged in manually, or you can add automated controls: snow sensors detect precipitation and temperature to turn mats on/off automatically; outdoor thermostats activate based on temperature thresholds; Wi-Fi controls and SMART apps allow remote operation from your phone; or the TENSIO system provides fully automated surveillance for large commercial projects.

What voltage do I need—120V or 240V?

Both options are available. 120V works for most residential applications using standard household outlets. 240V is recommended for commercial installations, industrial applications, or larger residential projects requiring more power. The amperage remains constant and does not self-regulate based on temperature changes.

How long do TEK-SIL heated mats last?

TEK-SIL mats are built with weather-resistant construction for durability in harsh winter conditions. All mats include a 2-year warranty against defects and workmanship from the shipping date. Proper installation (especially permanent mounting with wire lacing) extends lifespan by preventing mat movement and wear.

Can I use these mats on a flat roof?

Yes. TEK-SIL offers specialized 2ft x 2ft mats with a 6-inch center hole designed specifically for flat roof drains and scuppers. These keep drainage pathways clear and prevent water backup that can cause serious damage on flat roofs. Standard 12" and 24" mats also work for flat roof edges and problem areas.

Are these mats safe to use in rain and snow?

Yes. TEK-SIL mats are weather-resistant and designed for outdoor winter use. They maintain consistent temperature in wet conditions to ensure snow and ice melt gradually instead of refreezing. All electrical components are built for outdoor exposure. Use appropriate GFCI protection as recommended for any outdoor electrical equipment.

How much do these mats cost to operate?

Operating cost depends on mat size, voltage, and how long they run. Using automated controls (snow sensors or thermostats) significantly reduces energy consumption by running mats only when needed rather than continuously throughout winter. Mats heat up rapidly and work efficiently, melting snow faster than cables with the same power usage due to superior heat transfer and wider coverage.

What's the difference between the gutter mats and roof drainage mats?

Gutter mats are 4 inches wide and designed to fit inside standard gutters, keeping them clear and preventing ice blockages. Roof edge mats are 12" or 24" wide and install along roof borders, valleys, and areas prone to ice dams. Flat roof drain mats are 2ft x 2ft with a 6-inch center hole that fits over drain openings. Choose based on your specific application: gutters need the 4" width, roof edges need 12-24" widths, and flat roof drains need the specialized drain mats.
