Lightning Protection Rod Installation

A lightning rod  or lightning conductor  is a metal rod mounted on a structure.  It is intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike. If lightning strikes the structure, it will strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire, instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution. Lightning rods are also called finials, air terminals, or strike termination devices.

In a lightning protection system, a lightning rod is a single component of the system. The lightning rod requires a connection to earth to perform its protective function. Lightning rods come in many different forms, including hollow, solid, pointed, rounded, flat strips, or even bristle brush-like. The main attribute common to all lightning rods is that they are all made of conductive materials, such as copper and aluminum. Copper and its alloys are the most common materials used in lightning protection.

Lightning Protection USA designs and installs lightning rod systems for residential and commercial structures. To protect buildings (and their occupants) from lightning when we position the lightning rods at strategic locations where lightning is most likely to strike. When lightning strikes the electric current dumps it into the ground. This is a tried and tested method that is used for houses, apartments and tall buildings.

With expertise in the electrical and construction industries, Lightning Protection USA is dedicated to provide high quality work. We are proud to complete each and every project on time and within your budget.
