Quality Lightning Protection Materials That Last a Lifetime

At Strike Safe Lightning Protection, we know that the strength and reliability of a lightning protection system starts with high-quality materials. Serving Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Arkansas, and the Delta region, we provide expertly designed lightning protection solutions for homes, farms, and businesses, ensuring your property is safeguarded from destructive lightning strikes.

From New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Houma, and Slidell, to coastal and inland communities across the Gulf Coast, our team designs and installs custom lightning protection systems built to last a lifetime.

Why Materials Matter in Lightning Protection Systems

A lightning protection system is only as effective as the materials used. Each component must be highly conductive, durable, and corrosion-resistant to safely channel the enormous electrical energy of a lightning strike into the ground. Using substandard materials can compromise safety and increase the risk of fires, electrical damage, or structural failure.

At Strike Safe Lightning Protection, we use only UL-listed materials. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has been a global leader in safety science for over 100 years, setting the industry benchmark for reliability. As a UL-listed installer, our systems meet or exceed all safety and performance standards, providing peace of mind during severe storms

Key Components and Materials in Lightning Protection Systems

A comprehensive lightning protection system includes several critical components:

Conductor Cables

Conductor cables carry lightning safely from the rods to the grounding system. Strike Safe Lightning Protection uses:

• Copper Conductors: ½″ diameter braided cable with 32 strands of 17-gauge copper wire
• Aluminum Conductors: ⅝″ diameter braided cable with 26 strands of 14-gauge aluminum wire

All materials meet or exceed UL 96/96A, NFPA 780, and LPI 175/177 requirements, ensuring optimal conductivity and long-lasting protection.

Air Terminal Rods (Lightning Rods)

Air terminals intercept lightning strikes at the highest points of a structure. Our selection includes:

• Copper Rods: 3/8″ x 10″ up to ½″ x 24″
• Aluminum Rods: ½″ x 10″ up to ½″ x 24″
• Custom Sizes: Rods longer than 24″ can be ordered with a required brace for structural support

These rods are built to withstand the harsh weather conditions of the Gulf Coast, Louisiana, and the surrounding regions, providing reliable strike interception.

Ground Terminals

Ground terminals safely dissipate lightning into the earth. We install:

• Copper Ground Rods: Standard 10-foot x ½″ copper rod

Proper grounding ensures that energy from a lightning strike does not enter your building, protecting electrical systems and preventing structural damage.

Lightning Rods

Lightning Rods / Lightning Terminals / Lightning Arresters are installed on electrical service panels to prevent high voltage from entering your home or business. Acting as a filter, these devices deflect dangerous surges, protecting your wiring and appliances from lightning-induced fires or explosions.
