I’ve heard a steel framed house is dangerous in lightning?
Published On: 23/08/2011 | Updated On: 23/08/2011Lightning will have minimal effect on a steel frame as steel creates a positive earth allowing the energy to conduct straight to the ground and not be released destructively within the frame. Correctly installed steel frames are electrically safe because they are earthed and it is a requirement that all new housing be fitted with circuit breaking safety devices.
