Concealed equiptment for Residential, Commercial and Industrial
The nationwide trend to new home construction in cities and in suburban and rural areas is one that suggests the Concealed System. Concealed Lightning Protection must be installed during construction. Conductor Cables, grounds, and metal interconnections are inconspicuously coursed as the construction progresses. Air terminals (points) are slender and only 12" tall to blend in with the architecture, and are designed to be inconspicuous. Tree protection may be required when the home is built in natural setting.
Details of Concealed InstallationConcealed Installation - On new construction, conductors are coursed along the studding and rafters during framing, in the same manner as plumbing or electric wiring.
Semi-Concealed Installation - On completed buildings, the conductors are hidden by placement along ridge rolls, behind verge boards, spouting, and in other ways, utilizing special fittings for the purpose. There is no damage to the structure and the system is inconspicuous.
Ornamental Points - Ornate points are available on both concealed and semi-concealed systems. Owners are demanding something different - ornamental, distinctive. Modern day architecture lends itself for wrought iron effect ornaments to enhance the appearance of long, plain, ranch type ridges and flat roofs.
Aluminum and Copper - Either of these metals is acceptable for lightning protection systems, but should never be used together without special connectors. Aluminum parts are made heavier and larger to have the same conductivity as copper. There are precautions to be observed in the use of either metal. We will gladly advise on the most suitable choice for any specific condition
