IceBlaster Sloped Metal Roof Eave Panel (EP-MR)
The IceBlaster by Edge Melt System Eave Panel for Metal Roofs (EP-MR) is specifically designed to prevent ice dam and icicle build up at the eaves on sloped standing seam and other metal roof configurations.
Our smartly designed system can be serviced without having to remove the metal roof system. Competitor products require a tedious installation process and, once completed, access to the heat cables requires the removal of the
metal roofing panels.
The highly efficient system is comprised of an aluminum extrusion base panel/heat transfer panel which houses two runs of commercial grade self-regulating heat cable. Uses for the EP-MR are roof edges, dormer edges and other areas
where roof sections present ice dam and icicle problems.
Installation is simple. The base assembly is integrated with the roof materials using standard roof edge flashing techniques. Route two runs of commercial grade self-regulating heat cable. Prefinished aluminum cover panel affixes to the
base and is riveted to base panel for maximum heat transfer. Route any heat cable in gutter and downspout(s).
Expert design layout and installation guidance are available. Optional integrated drip edge is available for convenient cleating of roof panels directly to heat panel system. Gutter is optional.

NOTE: Some roof assembly features omitted for clarity. IceBlaster EMS products are fully compatible with most roof styles and systems. IceBlaster EP-MR can be installed on a roof with or without a gutter. When
installing on a roof with a gutter, the gutter and downspout must be heat traced to prevent refreezing.
