Bringing Thermal Cartridge technology to life; Melting away ice dams and damage risk
A groundbreaking solution that not only hides the system but also enhances its performance and ease of maintenance.
The Premier Solution for Roof Aesthetics and Functionality
The Thermal Cartridge: The Ideal Solution
Developed by Eric Wimmer at Wasatch Heat Cable, the thermal cartridge addresses both the aesthetic concerns and the functional issues associated with traditional heating cable systems. This innovative product has quickly become a top choice for homeowners who want a highly effective and visually discreet solution to ice and snow buildup.
How the Thermal Cartridge Works
The thermal cartridge consists of an aluminum plate system with interwoven heat tape. This unique setup is designed to install beneath a metal roof or under a metal skirt along the roof’s eaves, completely concealing the heating system. Once installed, the system is invisible to the eye, meaning no unsightly cables disrupt the appearance of the roofline.
Why Choose the Thermal Cartridge?
The thermal cartridge has proven to be extremely effective in both concealing heating cables and improving their performance. With its innovative design and ease of maintenance, it is quickly becoming one of the best solutions for homeowners looking to prevent ice and snow buildup without sacrificing the aesthetic value of their roof. When searching for a way to hide or conceal your ice melt system, the thermal cartridge is undoubtedly one of the best options available. Its combination of efficiency, convenience, and design flexibility makes it a top choice for those looking to maintain a beautiful and functional roof, season after season.
Hidden From View
Why conceal your heating cables?
Heating cables are essential for preventing ice dams, which can cause water to back up under shingles and lead to roof leaks and structural damage. These cables are usually installed along the edges of the roof and eaves to help channel water from the roof to the ground. While highly functional, they can be unsightly. The cables can stand out, especially when installed on a roof that was not originally designed to accommodate them.
For many homeowners, the challenge becomes how to hide these cables to maintain the roof’s visual appeal without compromising the system's functionality. The goal is to find a solution that blends seamlessly with the home’s design while still providing effective ice-melting capabilities.

What are the Advantages of the Thermal Cartridge System?
The biggest selling point of the thermal cartridge is its ability to conceal the heating system entirely. Once installed, the system is hidden from view under the roof or eave, ensuring that the overall look of the roof remains intact.
Unlike traditional under-shingle heating systems that require roof removal for repairs, the thermal cartridge is designed to be easily serviced. If the heat cables eventually fail or need to be replaced, homeowners can simply remove an accessible drip edge and pull the aluminum plates out. The cables can then be replaced quickly without requiring any roof repairs, making it a highly cost-effective and convenient solution over time.
The aluminum plates that house the heat tape help to distribute heat more evenly across the eaves of the roof. This improves the effectiveness of the system, ensuring that heat is properly channeled to prevent ice buildup. The result is better coverage compared to traditional systems that rely on exposed cables.
The aluminum plates also help retain the heat generated by the heat tape. In traditional exposed systems, much of the heat escapes into the atmosphere, reducing energy efficiency. With the thermal cartridge, the retained heat helps to maintain consistent and efficient performance, reducing overall energy consumption.
Another major advantage of the thermal cartridge is that it can be used with a variety of metal roof designs. Homeowners are not limited to a specific type of roof or material. This means they can choose from different metal roof colors and styles, providing greater flexibility to match the system with the overall aesthetic of their home.
