About us

From your basement to your roof, from the front door to the back, Frost King products are there to save you money and save you energy. Frost King, simply the trusted name in home insulation. It all began nearly a century ago when Frost King introduced the nation’s first do-it-yourself weatherstripping kit. That simple kit, just 17 feet of felt carpet strips and some nails, managed to single handedly ignite America’s “Do-It-Yourself” revolution. Since that time, Frost King has expanded to help you save money and energy in just about every corner of your home. During the winter, Frost King products will keep the cold air out, insulate your pipes and protect your rooftops from freezing snow. In the summer, Frost King keeps gutters clean, protects your home from leaks, and cuts air conditioning costs.

User questions & answers

Question:	how can I view the old Amazon search page??? This new page is terrible
Answer:	Hola RODOLFO, el grosor del lado transparente es de 3 mil (76,2 micras) y el lado en relieve es de 11 mil (279,4 micras). Gracias a la experiencia de 10 años en la fabricación de bolsas de sellador al vacío, podemos hacer que estas bolsas sean delgadas y transparentes mientras mantenemos una tenacidad mecánica similar con las bolsas de 4 mil. Desafortunadamente, no ofrecemos venta en paquetes en este momento. Esten atentos a los paquetes de negocios en el próximo verano. ¡Gracias!
Question:	Does this work on a driveway if I were to just lay it when it snows
Answer:	The thickness of the clear side is 3 mil (0.08 mm) and the embossed side is 11 mil (0.28 mm). Thanks to the 10-year experience of manufacturing vacuum sealer bags, we can make these bags thin and clear while maintaining similar mechanical toughness with the 4 mil bags out there.

Question:	Is this item 120v or 240v? the description says 120v, but when i search dhehk12083, only 240v comes up
Answer:	Works great on FoodSaver. Just save the cardboard roller from the last package you use so you can roll 1/2 of the 50' onto it if you have the Food Saver with the bag cutter and roll compartment. 50' is too large to put inside the FoodSaver to cut bags.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the on/off manual? Can it operate in any low temp
Answer:	Yes, the heat output is even across the entire length of heat tape. The quality of the cable is top of the industry with 16 AWG wires conducting the heat across the entire length of the heated portion of the cable. The self-regulation will not interfere with performance when it comes to heat distribution either, in fact, it improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the cable. This cable has been tested and has passed as ETL listed.
Question:	Curious to know if I put this in my walkway..would it melt snow
Answer:	This heat cable is 'on' while plugged in. There are thermostatic outlets (ThermoCube) that can be used to turn our cable on at 35 degrees and off at 50 degrees. Many of our customers buy those. Our cable will NOT MELT or damage PVC gutters. You will need to install the cable in a standard serpentine, or zig-zag pattern to get ice dam prevention. Heating gutters alone will not reduce the likelihood or severity of ice dams in any way.
Question:	Can it be cut to length? I only need it to be about 4 foot long
Answer:	You need to crank the set screws down very tightly. You should expect them to dimple or dent the standing seam. You may want to visit the manufacturers website for further details.
Question:	I'm looking at using something like this for a chicken watering system. Could everything, minus the plug head, be completely submerged in a pipe
Answer:	I have never used these in a vertical application. I have found the S-5 company to be very helpful you can contact them at their web site s-5.com

User questions & answers

Question:	Will these clips handle coax ok
Answer:	I don't sell them so I don't know if you can buy it any other way. The wheels can pop out in heavy jobs. I found them and popped them back in. I think the rake works well and has paid for itself with all the snow we have been getting.
Question:	what is the surface finish
Answer:	I do not have solar panels on my roof, and my thought would to let the snow melt by it self, but if I were going to use a snow rake, it would be this one. I found an article on the web that referenced this snow rake for snow removal on solar panels. http://news.cnet.com/8301-11128_3-10156471-54.html If you were to use it you would have to be very, very careful to be sure that the bottom of the blade was lowered so the sharp corners of the rake do not touch the panels. Also, if you received heavy resistance when pulling the rake down, I would stop and lift it off rather than putting extra possible pressure on the panels. Good luck.
Question:	Would these work on a wood shaker roof
Answer:	Elisabeth I purchased this rake some time ago... I would not personally use it on any material softer than a roof... It is made of aluminum with a strong edge. You should be able to modify the rake by putting a some type of plastic type adhesive tape along the edge to protect the cloth material.
Question:	I had but nothing but trouble the aluminum clips are way too soft to bite into the shingles.anyone who have found a alternate method please
Answer:	Output at 50˚F (10˚C) : 8W per foot; Output at 32˚F (0˚C) : 12.8W per foot. Yes, this heating cable can be buried to keep the ground from freezing
Question:	Can this be used to push snow off the roof from a higher floor window, or is it only for pulling snow off
Answer:	20A current is enough to run the heating cable。 If you are a flat hypolon roofing, you can use hot melt glue to secure the cable clip to the roof，This is a roofing scheme that a lot of people use。
Question:	Can I purchase just the rake section seperately ? Don't the wheels pop out easily and get lost
Answer:	Considering it's designed for rooftops and gutters, I don't know if it could withstand the pressure of a car(s) driving over it without damaging it. But, if a car will NEVER drive over it, give it a go! However, I say that knowing I won't be losing the money if something goes wrong.
Question:	Can it be used on solar panels
Answer:	Yes, You need insulation at the bottom of the deck to avoid too much heat loss
Question:	Has anyone used this or any other rake to remove snow from a year round sunbrella type(cloth material
Answer:	1200W, 240 ft. so 5W per foot.

Product description

WHAT IS IT:



RoofMate Self-Regulating Heating Cable is specifically designed for residential roofing and gutters to prevent damage caused by ice formations, such as ice dams. It is direct-to-consumer Swiss manufactured with 100% quality control. This means we test every single cable made. Manufactured by GammaSwiss – 30 years of success in electric heating cables used in industry all over the world, now available to you for your home.



RoofMate comes with a 5-year Warranty and is ETL Certified. Each cable measures 13x6mm, consists of durable PVC inner insulation and a continuous ground braid. This guarantees maximum safety and reliability. The illuminated plug helps to easily see when your cable is functioning. Each cable has 10-ft cold lead, plus the self-regulating length listed.



INSTALLATION:



RoofMate cables can be overlapped during installation and operation, won't overheat, and can be used on all roofing materials except wood. Please read the installation manual and follow all instructions. Using roof clips: Do not use nails, adhesives or sealants to attach clips to the cable. Clips are not included because the type of clip you'll use depends on the type of roof you have. Be sure to use clips specific to your type of roof, e.g metal, asphalt, rubber, etc. We recommend checking with your local hardware store, the internet or asking a professional installer what they suggest.



HOW DOES IT WORK:



'Self-regulating' means the cable automatically adjusts its heat output according to the outside temperature: colder outside=hotter cable, less cold outside=less hot cable. This way the cable only uses as much energy as needed to melt snow and ice. If only a certain part of the cable is getting snowed on, then only that part will get warmer. The entire cable adjusts independently. No portion of it will get hotter than it needs to be.

• SWISS MANUFACTURED commercial grade with 100% Quality Control; ETL certified; 30 YEARS of successful experience in electric heating cables
• REDUCE ENERGY COSTS: Cables automatically adjust heat output to ambient temperature; Operates in temperatures down to negative 40 degrees
• PROTECT YOUR HOME: Our product will give you peace of mind knowing that you and your home are PROTECTED from any potential damage caused by ice formations such as ice dams and icicles on roof and gutters; Not for use with extension cord; Circuit requirements: must be 120V AC, grounded, has a GFCI system, and rated at least 20A
• HOW TO USE: Use on roof, gutters and drainage pipes, on any roof and gutters except wood (pvc, asphalt, rubber, metal, flat roof, etc. ok.) CAN BE OVERLAPPED during installation and operation, cable WON’T OVERHEAT. 10-foot cold lead on cable. Clips for specific types of roofs not included. Please scroll down to read the full description for more information
• The purpose of the cable is to create pathways through ice and snow for the melted water to escape, rather than collecting and re-freezing.

Product description

Grip Clip roofing cable clips come in a pack of 25 clips and provides a simple and effective solution to your roof cable installation needs. The nail free design does not require any additional tools due to its innovative “toothy pincher” design. The Grip Clip teeth grab the underside of the roofing shingle, producing a strong grip. No additional roofing tools are needed, making for a safer installation process. To re-position a Grip Clip, simply lift the edge of the shingle and slide the Grip Clip up to release the teeth. A common issue with ice dam cable installations is cable ends making contact and shorting out. Grip clips prevent this from happening by remaining secure and lasting indefinitely. Grip Clip is the only clip that allows for a building code compliant application of self-regulating heat cables near the center of the roof valley, where you want them. Using traditional clips requires that fasteners are driven through the valley flashing, which violates most building codes. Grip Clips can also be used on other roofing cable applications such as seasonal holiday string lights. Grip Clips can be used on a wide variety of roofing materials which range in thickness from 1/8” to 3/4”, including cedar shakes, Davinci shakes/slate and all other types of synthetic roofing. Grip Clip is a Minnesota-based company with expert support staff available to help solve your roof ice dam problems.

Our cable creates melted pathways through ice or snow on your roof that allow water to escape instead of backing up through your roof system. Problem solved.

Question:	Can this be used under a metal ice belt place at base of roof. ice belt is 20 inches wide
Answer:	Yes. It’s my favorite formula. Has a cooling feeling
Question:	What temperature does this wire attempt to maintain? Does the thermostat work well
Answer:	I like the Clear Eyes version more.
Question:	Is heat output even along the entire length of tape used, even the longest lengths
Answer:	I use them when my contacts are in as well as when they are not.
Question:	What temperature does the heat tape turn on at? can it be laid in pvc gutters only as the system has heat to the roof edge
Answer:	Yes, it's painted so I guess it can't rust so easily.

• Suitable for use on plastic and metal water pipes( including inlet pipe,drain pipe, sewer, palm tree frost protection etc). Industrial grade self regulating heating cable. The cable output will adjust automatically based on the ambient temperature at each point along the cable. No worry about the overheat risk. More Safe. Can be used by straight, spiral and overlap. More functional.
• Smart plug with indication light to show you whether the cable is working or not. Protect pipes up to 2 1/2” in diameter. For a better freeze protection, at least 1/2 inch thick or thicker insulation material is recommended, especially for extremely cold weather. If the ambient temperature is lower than -20°F(-29°C), please use 1” thick insulation material. ETL approved. 50 degrees F for pipe freeze protection.3 ft 18/3 cold lead with grounded plug.
• Roof deicing application: HEATIT JHSF1 was designed to prevent the ice dam formation not to melt the ice dams which were already formed. Please turn on the cable at the beginning of snowing. Can be used on flat roofs, metal roofs, asphalt roofs, rubber roofs, slate roofs, stone roofs, metal roofs, ceramic roofs, composite (tar and gravel) roofs and so on. Rated 10W/ft at 32°F (0°C) for roof deicing. For roof deicing application, you may need to buy clips and hangers separately.
• Designed to maintain water temperature in the supply piping system, reducing or eliminating the delay in obtaining hot water at each fixture. You don’t need to run showers or sinks for long periods of time to draw new hot water into the unit, which is a significant waste of water. Simply wrap the self regulating heating cable around your hot water lines within the house to provide you with instant hot water. It is an energy efficient and economical alternative to common re-circulation systems.
• Testing the cable before the installation. Uncoil the cable, plug in the heating cable. Normally you can feel the slight warm on the heating cable in few minutes.
