Board Ups are a crucial part of any construction or renovation project. They are vital for protecting open areas from weather, vandals, and unauthorized access. Board-ups can also help maintain the structural integrity of buildings. Learn more about Board ups and how Millenium Glass Contractors can help you protect your buildings and save money.
Board Up Purposes
Plan ahead with board up services! Board ups are a great preventive measure to prevent windows from breaking and keep unwanted guests out. Avoiding these incidents can help you save money on possible damages.
Prevent Window Damage
Avoid the inconvenience and cost of fixing shattered windows after a storm by boarding up your windows beforehand. Even if a natural disaster has already damaged your house, minimize your losses by boarding up the windows until you can install new ones.
Retain Insurance Coverage
Ensure a claim with boarded-up windows since boards prevent additional water or wind damage. After a fire or natural disaster, hire board up services to prevent your insurance company from using the lack of boards and additional damage as a basis to reject your claim.
Keep Vandals and Trespassers Out
Board up services are essential when you live in a damaged house or wish to protect a foreclosed property until it sells. This easy step minimizes theft, vandalism, and the possibility of a trespasser injuring themselves in the building.
Available Types & Materials
Board Ups come in various materials to suit the situation’s needs. Installing board Ups commonly involves covering openings with a sheet of plywood, which is then secured with nails or screws. This provides an extra layer of protection to the vulnerable area while repairs are being made. Boards can range from plastic to metal material and can be fitted with locks or alarms that will sound when triggered by an intruder. Here are a few other common board up materials:
Dimensional Lumber
Dimensional lumber is board ups that are cut to a specific length, width, and thickness typically used in building construction. The two types of dimension timber options are structural and non-structural. Non-structural lumber offers support and reinforcement, while structural lumber can handle heavy loads and withstand damage.
Engineered Lumber
Engineered lumber can support more weight than dimensional timber. It is made of wood, glue, and resin. Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and I-joists are the two types of engineered wood utilized for home framing and board-up services. I-joists are even more stable since they have a larger surface area for connection, but LVL beams are more stable due to the wood grain running in the same direction, which gives them stability to withstand heavy weight.
Sheet Goods
Professionals install composite woods such as plywood before the external siding. They use sheet products to stabilize and secure the skeleton frame of the house.
Door Board Ups
Millenium Glass Contractors isn’t limited to just windows. Door board ups are another type of board up service offered by Millenium Glass Contractors. Not only do boarded up doors help with protection against any damage, but they provide an added layer of security for any property. Our professionals can make door board ups out of wood, metal, or composite materials such as fiberglass and vinyl.
