Boarding up is a preventive and protective measure taken to secure openings in a property, such as windows, doors, and other vulnerable points. Here's what board up does: Protection from External Elements: Boarding up helps shield the interior of a property from external elements like rain, wind, snow, and debris. This can be particularly crucial after a storm or natural disaster to prevent further damage to the interior. Security: A boarded-up window or door acts as a deterrent to potential intruders, vandals, or looters, especially in situations where the property is temporarily vacant or has been damaged. Safety: Broken windows or openings can pose safety risks due to sharp edges or unstable structures. Boarding up these areas ensures that no one gets injured from these hazards. Temporary Solution: While it's not a permanent fix, boarding up provides a temporary solution to maintain the property's integrity until proper repairs or replacements can be made. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your property is secured, even temporarily, can provide immense peace of mind to property owners, especially in times of uncertainty or after unexpected damages.
