Protect your properties with lightning rods
One factor we can be sure about when it comes to lightning is its unpredictability. The occurrence of lightning is a result of escalating positive and negative electrical charges, but it is impossible to make accurate predictions about when it will strike. Lightning usually occurs between clouds, but the smaller discharges that travel towards the ground are the ones that pose a threat to people and property. There is no way to prevent strikes, but what we can do is protect our properties from potential damage if lightning hits.
The interiors of buildings have many features, installations and systems that are vulnerable when lightning strikes. Water pipes and power and telephone lines are particularly at risk. When lightning strikes a building, it creates a surge of energy that travels through the wires and plumbing systems. Lightning can strike trees and poles in urban areas and send the current to properties in close proximity. Once again, entry is gained via the plumbing and wiring systems. Lightning has the capacity to travel through buried power lines for hundreds of yards, which means that it cannot be underestimated.
We are a leading name in lightning protection and we can offer the perfect systems to our customers. We provide protection that is focused on management. Lightning rods are the most popular choice, as they are constructed from highly conductive materials and act as a path of increased resistance. The lightning is encouraged to continue on its downwards trajectory and bypass your property altogether.
