Copper vs. Aluminum Lightning Protection Systems

Both materials can be used in appropriate applications. Learn why roof material, corrosion compatibility and project design matter.

What Arizona Property Owners Should Know

Both materials can be used in appropriate applications. Learn why roof material, corrosion compatibility and project design matter.

Lightning protection should be planned for the actual structure, roof, site and electrical systems. General information is not a substitute for a property-specific evaluation.

Key Considerations

Complete-System Thinking

Effective lightning protection is not just a row of rods. Air terminals, conductors, grounding, bonding and surge protection work together. The design must consider roof geometry, rooftop equipment, utilities, metal systems and local site conditions.

Next Step

Valley Lightning Protection serves Arizona homes, ranches, commercial buildings and industrial facilities. Request a property review to discuss the right approach for your project.
