Cold-Formed Steel & Storms
Electrical storms can be devastating, with lightning strikes seriously threatening homes and other structures.
Cold-formed steel’s excellent electrical conductivity offers unparalleled protection against lightning strikes, making it an ideal choice for building projects in areas prone to electrical storms.
Reduce the risk of electrical fires and other damage.
Cold-formed steel is an excellent conductor of electricity, so it can effectively channel electrical energy from a lightning strike into the ground. This helps to reduce the risk of electrical fires and other damage that can occur when lightning strikes a structure. Unlike other building materials, such as wood or masonry, steel does not create sparks or heat that can ignite a fire.
Resistant to corrosion.
Besides its electrical conductivity, cold-formed steel is exceptionally durable and resistant to corrosion, making it an excellent choice for homes and buildings in areas with high moisture and humidity levels. This makes it an ideal choice for coastal or rainy areas, where homes and buildings are exposed to high moisture levels and the risk of electrical storms.
No frequent maintenance or repairs.
The durability of cold-formed steel also makes it a more sustainable choice, as it will not need frequent maintenance or repairs, even in areas prone to electrical storms. This makes it a cost-effective choice for building projects and a safer choice for building occupants.
In areas prone to electrical storms cold-formed steel is an excellent choice for building projects.
Its excellent electrical conductivity and durability make it a safer and more sustainable option than other building materials, providing peace of mind and a secure investment for the future. Whether building new or remodeling, consider the benefits of cold-formed steel and make the choice for a safer, more sustainable future.
