Guest User 9/23/2004	Metal conducts electricity. It does not "draw" it. If you email me direct with your email address, I will send you a Technical Bulletin or two on Metal Roofing and Lightning. However, studies have shown it does not pose any increased risk of a lightning strike. Todd Miller [email protected]	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/4077/find/

Guest User 9/28/2004	Could you email me that report also? I'd greatly appreciate it now that I need to replace my roof post-hurricane Jeanne. BTW, is there any reason a metal roof should not be installed on a frame structure? Thanks in advance for your reply! :-)	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/4079/find/
Guest User 9/28/2004	Pauline, when I am back in my office, I will email to you my company's tech bulletin on lightning. Also, you can check out the MCA tech bulletin at: http://www.metalconstruction.org/pubs/pdf/1040%20Lightning%20Metal%20Roofing.pdf As for your question about installation over a frame structure ... I do not think I understand your question. Can you clarify a bit please?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/4080/find/
