SAFE – VineHeat electric de-icing systems efficiently prevent excess snow and ice build-up on roofs and in gutters and downspouts. No need to climb on a ladder or the roof to clear snow and ice from the roof.
ECONOMICAL – Excess snow and ice can create leaks in roofs and exterior walls, resulting in costly repairs, inside and out. A small investment in our heating wires can mean long-term savings.
MAINTENANCE FREE – The cables’ rugged construction makes them strong to stand up to extreme temperatures, water, and sun. The lighted plug indicates when the cable is powered.
EFFECTIVE – Roof de-icing systems melt snow and ice along the edges of the roof and in gutters, and downspouts making a continuous path for water to safely drain away from the home.

If you’re looking for a salt spreader or de-icer, here are a few things you should keep in mind.

Are you spreading salt on a road, on an airfield, in a parking lot, or on a walkway?
Product Rating. Salt spreaders and de-icers are rated according to how durable they are. A higher-rated product will be more durable.
Capacity. How much salt are you spreading? A single-cell de-icer is 4.2 lbs., whereas a 6-cell de-icer is 26 lbs.
Weight. Weight is mostly related to portability and ease of use. If portability isn’t an issue, most salt spreaders and de-icers will be light enough to carry.
Salt Type Required. The salt type required varies by application. If you’re spreading salt on a road, you should be using rock salt. If you’re spreading salt on an airfield, you should be using regular salt. If you’re spreading salt on a parking lot, you should be using fine-grade salt.

When shopping for salt and de-icers, it’s important to consider a few factors:

How much do you need? In some cases, salt spreaders and de-icers can be bulky. If you know that you’re going to be carrying your salt spreader in the car and need to use it frequently, it may be better to invest in a larger size.
How wide is the spreader or de-icer? If you’re going to be using it on icy roads, a wide spreader or de-icer may be best.
Do you need a storage case? If your salt spreader or de-icer is going to be used on a regular basis, you may want to consider investing in a storage case.
Do you need a shovel attachment? If you regularly find yourself shoveling snow, you may want to consider buying a shovel attachment for your spreader or de-icer.
Do you need a bag? Some spreaders and de-icers also include a bag for carrying salt, which can be convenient.
Do you need a hand drier? Some spreaders and de-icers include a hand drier, which can make it easier to spread salt while still having your hands free.

When caring for your salt spreader or de-icer, it’s important to make sure that you clean it properly after each use.

Remove the salt: Before you begin cleaning your salt spreader or de-icer, first remove the accumulated salt. If the salt is hard to remove, use coarse salt or kosher salt to remove most salt buildup.
Clean the salt spreader or de-icer: Fill your sink with warm, soapy water and add your salt spreader or de-icer. Use a toothpick or long-handled sponge to scrub the spreader or de-icer thoroughly.
Remove excess salt: Rinse your salt spreader or de-icer thoroughly. If the salt remains stuck, soak it in warm, soapy water overnight, or soak it in a tray of baking soda and water for an hour, then rinse it.
Dry the salt spreader or de-icer: Lay your salt spreader or de-icer on a towel to dry. To avoid rust, do not leave your salt spreader or de-icer exposed to the air.
Store the salt spreader or de-icer: Store your salt spreader or de-icer in a place where it will not be exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture.
