However, DIN 18531-1 describes the re-
quirements and basic planning and execution prin-
ciples for sealing used and unused roofs.21: Mesh width for different lightning protection
classes
3rd step: Installing the mesh
A number different grid sizes apply, depending on
the lightning protection class the building.

Mesh method
The round conductors the mesh
