Experts can evaluate, specify, and recommend, but only owners can, in the end, decide.

May we recommend that whatever the risk value of your building you also consider three outside factors that affect the advisability of protecting the structure?

These are trends we have seen during the more than 70 years our company has been in business:

1. Rising costs - A proper system protects for a life-time at a cost amortized over decades of escalating prices.
2. Increasingly vulnerable contents - With fragile electronic equipment susceptible to tiny blips of current, a lightning protection system provides low-resistance paths to minimize the effects of direct strikes to the building.
3. Changing views of liability - If there's a liability question today, chances are it will grow. Views regarding owner liability are changing.
