What is an Salt Panel?
Salt panels are a fantastic option to add winter protection for your roof. They can keep ice from developing and can also keep your roof from collapsing in extremely cold weather. Salting your roof can be an economical way of protecting it from weather damage. It can be done by you or by a professional.
Here are three helpful tips to install salt panels on your roof:
1. Clean your Roof prior to the Installation
Clean your roof using the help of a pressure washer prior to attempting to install the salt panels. This will get rid of any dirt, dust or debris that could cause corrosion.
2. Measure and cut the salt panels as per the guidelines
To ensure an accurate measurement, take a measurement of the width of each panel and then cut them to size with a saw or a grinder. Use a level while cutting the panels to ensure that they're completely level across their entire surface.
3. Secure the Salt Panels on your Roof with bolts or screws
After cutting the panels to the desired size, you can secure them onto your roof with bolts or screws that meet specifications. Be careful not to tighten too much the bolts or screws as this could result in damage to the panels and/or your roof surface.
How do Salt Panels work?
Salt panels can be a great way of reducing the use of energy and also reducing your carbon footprint. They function by absorbing and reflecting sunlight away from the roof, thus reducing the requirement to heat or cool your home. Salt panels are also incredibly durable and can last several years without having to be replaced.

1. Salt panels can help you lower your energy bills by as much as 30%.
2. Salt panels are a great way to reduce your dependence on fossil fuels, which can help protect the environment.
3. Salt panels can shield your roof from damage caused by weather.
4. Salt panels are able to filter out particulate matterand improve the quality of air.
Installation of Salt Panels
Salt panels are installed on the roof of your home to decrease the time you need to rake it. They can also help keep your roof cooler during the summer.
First, find a location on your roof where the panels can be placed. You'll need to measure the length of the panel, its width, and the hight of the panel. You can create sketches or models to make sure that the panels fit properly.
Then, you can use these measurements to build a frame from metal or wood. You must ensure that the frame is strong enough to hold the salt panel's weight and is level at each of the four corners. The frame must be covered with plastic sheeting, and fixed with nails or screws.
Then, fill every corner of the frame with salt. Salt should be able to reach halfway to the edges of the frame. Then, cover every corner of the plastic sheeting with salt, so that it doesn't show through.
When you're finished, take a look at your installation and make any adjustments that are needed. Once everything is done then you can apply a final coat or sealant.
