No. Alu-Rex products do not cause ice to form. If icicles form at the edge of the roof, have the attic ventilation and insulation checked: they are the usual cause of ice along the roofline. Properly installed drip edge flashing also stops the drips that freeze on sidewalks.
Eaves flashing
Simply having flashing installed won't fix the problem
Eaves flashing stops water from dripping between the eavestrough and the fascia board, where it rots the wood and freezes into ice on your sidewalk. Installed at the correct distance, it also prevents shingle curl and adds years to the life of your shingles.
As a supervisor for another Edmonton company, Steve saw flashing installed wrong so often it became normal. He drew the diagram here to explain how eaves flashing works, and we manufacture all our own flashing to suit every job, custom pieces included. Steve guarantees his flashing installation will actually work.
