Empty buildings could invite a lot of uninvited guests. They could be homeless people who stay the night, the tourists or backpackers who are on their traveling, the teenagers who are looking for a secret gathering place, or the more terrible are thieves and robbers that could intentionally destroy and steal something valued. To avoid the threat like this we need the security tools that can protect property from damage. Whether the building is already finished and full furnished, semi-finished or waiting for renovations, unwelcome party arrival could make the damage worse.

The security action that practically used is by using boarding up either made from steel or timber boarding up. Some people say that timber is not as good as steel. But it already has the qualifications to as an excellent boarding up. Another advantage is timber is cheaper and is fixed to doors and windows size. But this type of boarding up has several drawbacks, which can be destroyed and more susceptible to fire. Thieves and robbers might destroy it easily. It is therefore timber more suitable used on empty property with no furniture or other carpentry items in it. It is also better used in a short period of time.

Another option is steel security screens that promises more security function. Made from steel, this boarding up security offers more secure than boarding up made ??from wood. Steel resistant to fire and resistant to other violence that causes destruction. It has 1.5 mm thickness and cut to the size of doors and windows that can not be moved. It’s just probably more costly. But since there are some company that provides this kind of security service, including the material and technician to install it, this would be worth it. Some of these options can be taken into consideration in accordance with the needs and the longer it takes. Whether to use a timber or steel, it must be better than just leaving the vacant property without any security precautions.
