#IKO75Years

The summer is that time of year where we are faced with lots of storms, often accompanied with impressive lightning spectacles. Even though it is a majestic natural wonder, it can often cause troubles. Protecting your home against an impressive lightning strike could save your life, the lives of your beloved ones, your home, its contents and all the electrical components. A home lightning protection can only have advantages!

Unfortunately you cannot prevent a flash of lightning striking on your home. But what you can do is nullify or reduce the ruinous effects of a lightning strike by having a professionally installed lightning protection system in your home.

Lightning protection explained

The task a lightning protection system performs is very simple. It provides a path, created by specialists, on which a lightning strike can travel. If your home is armed with a lightning protection system, the damaging power of this lightning strike will be directed safely into the ground. This leaves your home, family members and personal belongings unharmed.

The lightning protection system consists of air terminals (rods), a conductor (cable), bonding with metallic bodies and ground electrodes (counterpoise cable or ground rods) designed to protect the building structure and its occupants.
