For four generations the Hamilton’s have been installing lightning protection systems for any size or type structure. Hamilton Lightning Rods is one of Underwriters Laboratories listed installers and only uses UL listed copper or aluminum materials. We offer concealed systems during new construction or semi-concealed systems that blend into the aesthetics of an existing structure.
A lightning protection system should include all of the following elements, which work together for lightning prevention:
The nationwide trend to new construction in cities, suburban and rural areas is to install the concealed systems. Concealed lightning protection must be installed during the construction process. Conductor cables, grounds and metal interconnections are inconspicuously coursed along studding and rafters during framing, in the same way as plumbing or electrical wiring.
On completed buildings, the conductors are hidden by placement along ridge rolls, behind verge boards, spouting, and in other ways, utilizing special fitting for the purpose. There is no damage to the structure and the system is inconspicuous.
Ornate points are available on both concealed and semi-concealed systems. Modern architecture lends itself for wrought iron effect ornaments to enhance the appearance of long, plain ranch type ridges and flat roofs.
Either of these materials are used 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.
