Overhead garage door freezes to concrete? - garage ceiling fans
I have an insulated garage ceiling fan 10 'C, heating with a design. The gates are above R-16 and pull condensation drips on concrete base. It freezes lead to an increase in the extremities with large gaps in the Sky center.This is very difficult in the first game as a struggle for liberation in the opening and increase my heating bills. I thought the use of heat pipes or roof monitoring in the rubber seal, but the doors, the manufacturer, it would be dangerous to use for this purpose. Now I am thinking of opening a trench in the concrete where the door and installing a pipe in which you can use a heating element or fluid to keep the area free of ice. My question is: what kind of element or a heat source to be used. If you have further suggestions for rREGULATORY my problem is greatly appreciated.

Heaters were sold for this purpose, but is a bit expensive.
The use of PAM on the rubber parts and WD-40 on metal parts. In addition, a great success of the fat 00 "scratched on the concrete where it can be the door is a wonderful thing. Being fat does not pool water on them and what are the points with ice water or condensation that are not yet in a position directly on the soil freezing, but the fat in force, so that the door movement. This would be faster and cheaper.
Before spending a lot, just to try to spray, glue the pieces with an ice pick lubricant and allows no water to combine. Also for the lubricant to the area to which it is based. When the ice is achieved between the door, they should be open to. Hope this helps!
PAM spray or some other variable at the narrow zone where the door is on the basis of the concrete. maybe WD-40 or silicone spray
