You can count on two things when your home is located 8,500 feet above sea level in the Wasatch mountains - snow and more snow.
To handle the snow loads on the roof of this 5,000-sq. ft., three-level home, electric radiant manufacturer Heatizon used a bronze mesh product called Z Mesh, as well as its Tuff Cable embedded in a heat sink. The Z Mesh is protected by a sandwich of water- and ice-proofing, with composition asphalt shingle on the surface. The panel system allows for worry-free nailing.
