The Lightning Protection Systems are basically including the “passive” or “conventional” systems that are relying on the installation of multiple rods on a building perimeter and edges and the “Early Streamer Emission” systems based on a unique lightning rod providing an extended protection area.

Both systems have proponents and opponents discussing on the scientific or technical forums on complex calculation issues such as the upward streamer development speed assessment or standard issues (are the conventional and ESE standards conflicting? etc…). Building owners, Consultants and Contractors are considering two main characteristics:  is the proposed system reliable? Is it cost effective?

ProtecFoudre proposes a unique technology that encompasses all users’ expectations: it is extremely safe, reliable, complies with latest standards requirements and it is one of the most affordable systems available on the market.
