Nail On Roof Clips for Heat Tape

Radiant Solutions Company’s take on the industry standard for Heat Tape roof installation. We’ve sourced high-quality aluminum and employed an anodization process to make a discreet black color that blends in with most roofs.

Nail On Roof Clips require the use of some form of fastener (nails, screws, adhesive). For a solution that does not require a fastener, see our Grip Clip Heat Tape Clips.

Heat Tape PRO can be use with any gutter system made, be it open, closed, metal, plastic, vertical or horizontal.  Heat Tape PRO will work throughout the winter to keep an ice free path open for water so it can escape and move away from your home.

Keep in mind that if your home has ice dams in addition to ice in your gutters, you will want to install Heat Tape PRO on your roof to address that problem as well. Heat Cable in the gutters alone will not manage problematic ice on the roof surface.

There is no difference.

The terms heat cable, heat tape and heat trace are all used interchangeably to described heated cables used to protect pipes from freezing, preventing roof and gutter ice dams from forming and for safeguarding temperature sensitive components.

Other terms we’ve seen used regarding Heat Tape are:

  • Heat Coils & Heating Coils – Heat Tape has been called this because of the way the zig-zag pattern looks like a heating coil-element (like inside of a toaster)
  • Gutter Trace – Heat Tape get’s called this because of the usage in and around gutters
Here’s a handy guide that explains the steps of measuring so you know which length of heat tape to get.

Measuring the area of your roof that is affected by ice dams so you know how much heat tape to get is not overly complex, but it does have a few variables. Use our Heat Tape Measuring Guide to understand the process and print a worksheet that you can use to make sure you have all the right numbers.

Once you have all the measurements and considerations you need, use our Heat Tape Calculator to calculate the size of heat tape you should get.

Radiant Solutions products, including Ice Dam Prevention products such as Heat Tape Pro and Pipe freeze Prevention products like Pipe Freeze Pro can be purchase here at this website or at Amazon.com.

Including a thermostatic heat tape switch or controller in your installation will cut power to your heat tape in times it is not needed. This will lessen your environmental footprint and save you money.

Savings will always depend on the weather and how often you have temperatures above the threshold that the switch turns on your heat cable. In most situations where heat cable is needed, savings will offset the cost of the ThermaCord and then some.
