Radiant Heat In Pedestal System Roof Deck

Stone and paver surfaces benefit significantly from radiant heat as they are protected from shovels and snow melting chemicals.

Radiant heat in pedestal system roof deck.

A pedestal system can also reduce noise transmission to the interior of the building from the roof. With this extra layer of sun protection over your roof the conduction of the sun s heat to the roof is reduced. Use a few staples to hold in place then install battens. This is very green strategy can also add tremendous savings in lower energy costs by providing better insulation.

Voltage available for use with this system are 208 240 277 or 480 ensuring maximum flexibility. Radiant barrier roof sheathing helps to improve comfort in the building interior during the warm summer months and reduces energy costs. The pedestal paver snow melt system is a one of a kind solution that allows electric resistance heating to be paired with pedestal paver systems. Generally a 1 2 air space or more is ideal between the radiant barrier and the shingle or tile roof.

The pedestal paver snow melt system allows our hott wire mi cable to be paired with pedestal pavers on roofs decks platforms and more for snow melting purposes. The pans add less than 1 16 of height to their assembly allowing the system to blend in seamlessly to the pedestal pavers. Heatizon s pedestal paver snow melting system patent pending is the solution to quickly remove ice and snow in these spaces. Any heat that is gained in the layer between the decking and roof membrane is vented out through passive air circulation.

For stone or paver decks the cable can be embedded in the mortar used in the installation of the stone or pavers. Whereas radiant barriers reflect radiated heat back to the roof deck raising the temp of the roof deck shingles to radiate more heat back to the sky the convection conduction around the attic back into the attic still raises attic temps. Heatizon s system uses an engineered pan system in conjunction with our hott wire cable to provide heat the pavers. By installing roofingfoil radiant barrier under the battens 97 of the the radiant heat that would have been absorbed by the roof deck is now reflected.

This provides effective heat with minimal buildup. The pan is insulated below to direct heat upward and into the pavers.
