Supply & Installation FAQs
-
How do the lightning protection systems supplied by Direct Strike Ltd. work?
It’s always important to remember that lightning protection systems do not stop lightning from hitting the building. Rather they’re designed to root the lightning strike through a defined conductive path. This path then safely disperses the electrical charge into the ground. Our systems also include surge protection systems that protect vulnerable electrical appliances within the building and prevention systems that stop sparks and electrical surges travelling through wires and pipes.
-
What are the average costs associated with installing a lightning protection system?
This depends on the building and the internal electrical and pipe systems within the building. We can offer bespoke quotes that outline the cost of installing lightning protection systems in individual buildings.
