In Florida’s volatile and changeable climate, the only certainty is uncertainty. With inclement weather bringing with it the threat of lightning damage, it’s crucial to ensure your commercial roof is fitted with lightning strike protection in Florida.

One of the best ways to minimize the risks is to install lightning protection systems in Florida, but knowing exactly what to do can be a challenge.

So, how do you protect against lightning strikes in Florida? What does commercial lightning protection in Florida entail, and who do you need to speak to for new lightning protection system installations in Florida?

Read on to find out more.

Benefits

Benefits of Lightning Protection

There are a host of benefits associated with Florida lightning protection solutions, and they’re not all just about preventing damage.

Protect your property from costly damage: Whilst it may not be the only factor, property damage prevention in Florida is one of the most obvious benefits of Florida lightning protection solutions. Did you know, according to the NFPA, lightning strikes cause more than $450m worth of damages each year?

With this in mind, installing lightning strike protection in Florida is undoubtedly a must-do.

Prevent downtime and disruption to your business: The next benefit of commercial lightning protection in Florida is its ability to prevent downtime and disruption to your business. As you might expect, if your building suffers damage inflicted by lightning, there are a myriad of ways this can interfere with your normal business operations. If there is severe damage to the structure, this would all need to be repaired before the building is approved for commercial use again, and even if the visual damage is minimal, electrical works and checks will need to be conducted to ensure safety.

The odds of lightning striking your commercial property may be low, but they’re never zero – don’t run the risk.

Safeguard your employees and customers : An important thing to remember when looking to invest in lightning protection systems in Florida is that you aren’t just protecting your building, you’re protecting your people.

One thing your staff should never have to worry about is suffering serious injury from a lightning strike. If you live in an area of the country that is prone to lightning, such as Florida, you should consider this a responsibility to your personnel.

Increase the value of your property: As with any form of insurance or property damage prevention in Florida, undergoing a new lightning protection system installation in Florida is a surefire way to raise your property valuation and secure your long-term future.

With an effective lightning protection installation in Florida, these systems can last for generations, setting you up for success whether you plan to sell your home or not.

Comply with local and state codes: Whether you deem it necessary for your business or not, at the end of the day you may not have much choice as to whether you should install a lightning protection system.

In accordance with NFPA 780, all new Florida buildings are now required to be equipped with lightning strike damage mitigation measures. Failure to do so can result in your property not being approved for commercial use, rendering it virtually useless.

When looking at installing lightning strike damage mitigation for your commercial property, there are a range of tasks to consider.

Some of these include:

Repairs

Lightning protection repairs in Florida are a common part of the process. Whether you have suffered damages from a strike or the system has ceased normal function, actioning repairs quickly and efficiently is key to keeping your building safe.



UL Master Label

For new constructions, it is the trademark of lightning protection compliance. By complying with all required regulations, a contractor can secure UL Master Label certification and set you in good stead for years to come.

Removal & Replacement

Over time, there may come the need to remove & replace your existing system with a new one. From lightning strike damage to a system reaching the end of its lifespan, there are a range of reasons you might need to renew your lightning protection.

UL letter of findings

For existing buildings or systems, a UL letter of findings will be completed after a thorough inspection. This will note the required improvements or works necessary to qualify a building for the UL Master Label accreditation.



Testing & Recertification

As lightning damage is typically a rare occurrence, your protection system will likely go extended periods of time without being put to work. As such, testing and recertifying your system is crucial to ensuring your safety.

Advanced Roofing re-roofed an occupied supermarket in our shopping center. Not only was everyone I dealt with professional and courteous, they also got the job done without any complaints from the tenant. I can highly recommend them.

They did it again! Four years after our first experience with Advanced Roofing I am happy to report that they haven't lost a step. This time they re-roofed approx. 75,000 sq/ft. of an occupied shopping center. Again they impressed with timely and professional work. I can truly recommend Advanced Roofing!

Third time! They finished the re-roof of 61,600 SF on our apartment complex. Again - no complaints. Project was finished on time with no problems. I can still recommend them without hesitation.

Advanced Roofing just recently completed a re-roof on a Medical Building in West Boca Raton. Their bid stood out from the start. They were very spot on with pricing. They are extremely thorough with the entire process. Each phase of the project went well. There were a few hiccups but they assumed responsibility on each issue and corrected everything immediately. Carlos Machado was our project manager and he kept us well informed throughout. Craig Greer was a solid on-site director as well as Leo. They both were on top of everything and helped to keep the project moving along. They will be my go-to roofing contractor moving forward.

Advanced Roofing is a great company! I had them replace the roof on a 15,000 sq ft commercial building in 2020 and now on a PM agreement with them. Super professional and when there are any issues they show up. I was really impressed with the amount of work they did on my most recent PM visit in order to keep my roof in tip top shape. Highly recommend this company.
