5 ways to prevent Vandalism and Graffiti from happening to your New Braunfels Commercial Property

8/22/2022 (Permalink)

According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the annual cost of monitoring, detecting, removing, and repairing graffiti damage has been estimated as high as $15 to $18 billion. Commercial properties and business can help reverse these numbers by following these 5 strategies.

1. Anti-Graffiti Film

One of the most cost-effective ways to mitigate damage, anti-graffiti film is invisible after being installed and can even eliminate the need for a costly glass replacement. Products such as 3M™ Anti-Graffiti Films, can be removed and replaced quickly, and without the need to remove your windows.

2. Impact Protection Attachment Systems

These offer the highest level of protection for glass and windows. This system attaches to the glass and window frame and prevents not only vandals and forced entry, but also other catastrophic events such as bomb blasts and earthquakes. 

3. Security Systems

Installing security cameras offers an extra level of surveillance to your New Braunfels business. The presence of security cameras can intimidate offenders from “tagging” a building but also will record the incident for investigation.

4. Flood Lights

Another cost-effective method is the installation of flood lights. As statistics indicate graffiti vandalism often occurs at night, lights can add an extra layer of security to alert perpetrators that someone may be watching. 

5. Barriers

Building a barrier to protect the outside of your property, such as fences, or even plants like hedges and shrubbery. This will restrict access to the walls of a facility. The additional effort it takes to maneuver around these barriers often forces potential vandals to abort their efforts to cause damage to your business.
