Vertical Air Terminal Elements - Key Components of Lightning Protection

Vertical air terminal elements constitute the basis of an effective lightning protection installation.   At Onninen we offer a wide selection of these essential products. Our range includes high-quality components from renowned brands. Leading manufacturers in our range are Elko-Bis and KM Grom.

We know from experience that the selection of appropriate vertical air terminal elements is crucial. It directly affects the level of protection of the facility. We often come across questions about the criteria for selecting these components. The most important factors are the material of manufacture and its corrosion resistance. Technical parameters and compliance with standards are also important.

The variety of vertical air terminal elements available from Onninen

Our offer includes a range of products from the category of vertical air terminal elements. Among others, you will find:

• Control connector housings
• Grounding wire covers
• Tension rods and pipes
• Boxes for lightning protection connections
• Various types of holders (for tape, spacer, with pin)
• Control and branch connections
• Protective tapes

Each of these elements plays an important role in the lightning protection system.   Their correct selection and assembly ensure effective discharge of electric charge. In our daily practice, we see how important the quality of these components is. That is why we focus on proven manufacturers and rigorous quality control.

Practical applications of vertical air terminal elements

We recently used our products in a project for a large shopping centre. We used roof and tension brackets there, among other things. They allowed for stable mounting of downpipes. We also used control connectors, which facilitated later inspections of the installation. This example shows how important it is to have a comprehensive offer.

In the case of tall buildings, tension elements are crucial.   Tension rods and pipes ensure the proper stability of vertical air terminals. They protect them from the effects of strong winds and other weather conditions. In turn, durable metal brackets are useful in industrial facilities. They guarantee solid fastening of cables in difficult conditions.

Many customers ask us about solutions for buildings with flat roofs. In such cases, we recommend universal roof brackets. They allow flexible routing of the lightning protection system. Additionally, to increase aesthetics, we use grounding wire covers. They mask the elements of the installation without affecting its effectiveness.

Selection of vertical air terminal elements - what to pay attention to

Our experience shows that it is crucial to match the elements to the specifics of the facility. Here are the most important selection criteria:

1. Type of protected facility (residential, industrial, office building)
2. Height and shape of the building
3. Roofing material
4. Weather conditions at a given location
5. Aesthetic requirements

The correct selection of vertical air terminal elements requires professional knowledge.   At Onninen we offer not only products but also professional advice. Our specialists help to optimize lightning protection systems. They take into account both technical and economic aspects.

In the case of reorganization of lightning protection systems, it is most often necessary to replace some components. We pay special attention to control and branch connections. These components are exposed to the greatest loads during lightning discharges. Their regular inspection and replacement are crucial for the safety of the entire system.

Onninen recommends the use of comprehensive lightning protection solutions. The elements of the vertical air terminals should be selected to create a coherent system. This ensures the highest level of protection and minimizes the risk of failure. Our offer includes products that enable the creation of such an integrated system.

Vertical air terminal elements provide not only protection but also the aesthetics of the building.   We are increasingly encountering questions about visually discreet solutions. In response to these needs, we offer elements in various colors. They can be matched to the color of the facade or roof. Covers that mask grounding wires are also popular.

At Onninen, we focus on innovation in the field of lightning protection. We follow the latest trends and technological solutions. This means that our range of vertical air terminal elements is always up to date. It includes both proven, classic products and modern solutions. This allows for optimal protection of all types of facilities.
