Air Rods

An air rod, also known as a lightning rod or air terminal, is a device designed to protect structures and installations from the destructive effects of lightning strikes. Typically installed on the highest point of a building or structure, an air rod provides a low-resistance pathway for lightning to follow, allowing it to safely dissipate into the ground. The rod is often constructed from conductive materials such as copper or aluminum, and its elevated position minimizes the risk of lightning damage by offering a preferred path for the electrical discharge. By channeling the lightning safely away from the structure, air rods help prevent fires, structural damage, and other hazards associated with lightning strikes, offering a crucial element in lightning protection systems for various buildings and installations.
