CRL Introduces New Board Up System

C.R. Laurence Co. Inc. (CRL) of Los Angeles has introduced a new approach to storefront board-up jobs with its new Board Up System.

The company says the system is designed for fast and easy work with both 4-inch and 4 ½-inch flush glazing frames, and includes reusable, high-impact styrene plastic corner and intermediate brackets, shims for 4 ½-inch frames and quick-mounting fasteners. As long as the board is at least 4 inches larger overall than the overall opening, it is no longer necessary to cut plywood to exact sizes, according to the company.

"The CRL Board Up System not only provides a faster installation time for the glazier, but also, because no screwing to the frame is required, the customer is not left with unsightly holes in his window frame," said Bill Gyore, product manager. "The system provides an attractive application too, leaving nothing protruding from the inside. Furthermore, the store [has] ensured security since the plywood cannot be removed from the outside."
