Freeze protection pipe insulation, heat cable and temperature alarms
Burst pipes after a hard freeze cause some of the most expensive water damage in homes. StormForge supplies the products that prevent it — pipe insulation, pipe heat cable and temperature alarms — for hardware distributors, plumbing wholesalers and private label brands.
- PE foam and elastomeric rubber pipe insulation
- Self-regulating and constant-wattage heat cable kits
- Temperature alarms for freeze warnings
- Snow melt mats available as a later add-on

Freeze protection products
Pipe insulation slows heat loss and is the first line of defence for exposed pipes in crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls. Heat cable (heat tape) actively warms pipes when temperatures drop — used together with insulation for exposed or vulnerable runs. Temperature alarms from our leak detection range warn when a space approaches freezing.
Seasonal stocking
Freeze protection demand spikes with the first cold snap. Distributors usually place autumn orders for insulation by diameter and heat cable kits by length, then replenish mid-season. Mixed containers with flood and leak detection products help balance a year-round weather-protection range.
Snow melt mats (later phase)
Snow melt mats for steps and walkways are on our roadmap as an add-on to heat cable programs. Ask on the inquiry form if you need them in your first order.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need pipe insulation and heat cable?
Insulation alone helps in mild climates; exposed pipes in colder climates are often protected with heat cable under insulation.
Can you supply mixed sizes in one order?
Yes, insulation diameters and heat cable lengths can be mixed per container.
Do you supply snow melt mats?
Snow melt mats are a later-phase product; ask if you need them now.
Are your heat cables or insulation UL listed or ASTM tested?
We do not claim UL, CSA, ETL, ASTM or any other listing or test result by default. Products are built to the standards you specify, and test reports available for a given product can be provided on request.
