Soft roofing has recently gained more and more popularity, but it is worth noting that workers are often mistaken during installation by making certain errors. Often, among inexperienced masters, there is debate about the need for a lightning rod. Any specialist will tell you that such a design is a solution of first importance, even on a soft roof.
In most cases, lightning protection is a metal mesh made of a conductor that runs along the roof. There are two main types:
- Passive looks can take the form of a metal pin (to which the cable is attached), a simple cable (on which it is wound down conductor), grid (occupying a fairly large amount of space, as well as requiring large labor and financial resources.
- Active protection is one working lightning rod, which allows you to save space and also minimize the load on the roof.
It is worth noting that the active system has a whole list of advantages, which include the following:
- The minimum amount of building materials in the structure.
- Can be used on any surface.
- There is no risk of damaging the tiles.
- If the tiles are damaged from the outside, it will not be difficult for you to replace the deformed section of the roof.
- The installation process is quite simple and does not require much effort and the use of special equipment.
- In such a system, the protection zone is many times greater than in the passive one.
Due to its advantages, active protection is chosen much more often, because the risk of damaging something is significantly reduced, as well as the occupied space. A soft roof is a rather fragile material that does not like when large, voluminous structures are mounted on it. It is worth noting that when installing in the cold season, you risk damaging the tiles and in the future this will cause a deterioration in sealing and other consequences.
Protection from lightning is a very important measure, because it can choose your home as its target at any time and you need to be prepared for this. If lightning strikes a defenseless building, you will suffer much greater losses than if you had an active functioning system. You can easily test your lightning conductor using an induction megger. Thus, you get one hundred percent confidence in your safety.
