Why Your Smashed Window Needs To Be Boarded Up
When we attend an emergency break-in situation, we are careful not to interfere with any police investigations and will only board up your window or door once it is suitable to do so. Moving beyond the conventional timber boards, SGC Glass also champions the use of security window films. To provide you with the information you need, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions about our Boarding Up services, ensuring you have all the details to make informed decisions for your property. SGC Glass specialises in bespoke shopfront installations that improve your retail space and attract customers.
We work around the clock to provide a reliable service to customers that need it the most. We also offer a security window film service as an alternative to traditional timber boards. This window film is perfect for those who want peace of mind and security for their property without having to board it up. The film can be installed briskly with minimal disruption, resulting in heightened security in no time at all. Boarding up is a very commonly required service, usually occurring as a result of vandalism, burglary or fire damage. It involves installing boards on the doors and windows of a property to keep it temporarily secure.
Mainly because, broken glass left unattended has the potential to cause injury, attract thieves, vandals, and even opportunists. If boards are going to be on the property for a longer period, we will recommend the use of anti-tamper screws to help maximise security. These bolts have a round, smooth head with a square section underneath that prevents the bolt from turning when tightened. Security professionals will use a range of hinges and fixings to board up a door, the types used depending on the job in question. For added security, it’s advisable to use round-head, non-slotted carriage bolts with washers and nuts on the interior face to prevent tampering.
SGC Glass has consistently provided support for all types of window damages over the past 30 years. Whether it’s a single shattered window in a residence or an entire commercial building that needs security, our team has the skills to respond efficiently. Beyond boarding up, we’re equipped to remove broken glass and advise on alternative measures, such as re-glazing. We have worked with many recognisable high street brands and construction companies over that time, working alongside them to serve our local communities in several different ways. SGC Glass offers a vital boarding up service designed for exposed doors and windows. The aim is to protect both commercial and domestic properties from potential vulnerabilities, whether they arise from accidental damages or planned temporary closures.

By boarding up windows, doors and any other entrances or exits, you make it more difficult for intruders to gain entry into the building. Boarding up a property is one of the most effective deterrents against squatters, vandals and criminals.
