Ebeco’s frost protection secures Lyko’s new mega warehouse!
Lyko, one of the Nordic region’s leading e-commerce companies and retailers within beauty and hair care, operates its central warehouse in Vansbro, Dalarna. During the expansion, the entire facility needed to be protected from the stresses of winter to avoid burst pipes and damaged gutters. The solution was Ebeco’s complete snow-melting system for roofs, which now safeguards the entire building.
Lyko’s central warehouse has been expanded in several stages. The first section was completed in 2019, and in 2025 a major extension was finalized. Today, the facility covers a total of 37 000 m², including warehouse space, office and stores. Since the older part of the building had previously suffered from burst downpipes and gutters caused by frost, the decision was made to secure both the existing and newly built sections with frost protection from Ebeco, an investment that keeps the property well-prepared for the cold winters in Dalarna.
The installation was carried out by two electricians from Lasses El in Malung and Ax Elteknik. At Lasses El, they have worked with Ebeco’s products for several years, says Martin Ingvarsson, CEO and site manager:
Ebeco’s products are designed for installers and the Nordic climate. They feel well-thought-out and include smart details that speed up the installation.
Martin also emphasizes the value of the close collaboration with Ebeco throughout the process. The contact with Dennis Franzén, sales representative and project lead at Ebeco, provided confidence from planning to installation:
We have received excellent support from Ebeco. Electricians often choose a reliable option, where you know you can count on getting help when you need it.
During seven weeks in the autumn of 2025, approximately 2 300 meters of heating cable were installed on the building. It was a substantial installation, and Dennis Franzén says:
This is an excellent example of how roof-snow-smelting should be done.
At the end of 2025, the installation was completed, and Lyko’s central warehouse is equipped with frost protection that ensures proper drainage even during the coldest winter months.
