Many times, when a new roof is installed, the roofers will attempt to dismantle and then reinstall the lightning protection system and this should be avoided at all costs. We can work closely with your roofing company to ensure that the lightning protection system is secure and capable of handling a lightning strike after a new roof is installed. Will a lightning protection system be noticeable? • If the system is designed early enough in the planning stage much of the system can be run under the roof; while our system are designed to be nearly invisible from the ground.
