Structural
Lightning Protection
It is vital that buildings today are designed and equipped
with a lightning protection system that will ensure the
safety of the structure and its occupants. Given that
connection of lightning protection components are essential,
every possible measure against faulty components must
be undertaken to avoid damage or fatalities. For this
reason, the Furse range of fittings are designed and manufactured
to reduce the visual effect of lightning protection whilst
remaining within the British Standard BS6651.
Furse's
lightning protection products consists of flat, solid,
circular and stranded conductors in copper and aluminum.
Of these, many are PVC covered for greater aesthetic appeal.
To date, Furse also offers the world's largest range of
air terminals, fittings, bonds and clamps.

make equipment effective earthing essential. Through the
