What is Lighting?

When Lightning Strikes

Packing up to 100 million volts of electricity, a bolt of lightning has the power to rip through roofs, explode walls of brick and concrete, and ignite deadly fires. Most tragically, lightning kills. The cost of lightning strikes to businesses are staggering. Millions of dollars are spent every year by corporations as a result of lightning damage to their commercial properties. Insurance claims, fire damage, destruction of equipment, production and inventory loss can all result from a single lightning strike.

Why do you need Lightning Protection?

Most buildings, particularly those of contemporary design, are vulnerable to lightning damage due to increases in utilities, the use of isolated metal building components and the costly hi-tech equipment housed within. In addition to actual property loss, lightning damage to robotics, communication lines and computer equipment can result in extended downtime for your corporation. Protecting property and people is what lightning protection systems are all about.

How to Protect your Home or Business from Lightning

Because every building's architecture is unique, lightning protection systems can be designed to meet a structure's specific needs. Commonly specified during the construction phase of a building, lightning protection systems can be easily installed on existing buildings as well.
