Historic Preservation and Shrink Wrap Services

Shrink wrap can be easily used for historic preservation. There are a variety of ways that shrink-wrapping services at Atlantic Shrink Wrap can be useful for historic preservation purposes. Shrink wrapping used for historic preservation purposes can help to maintain a sealing over the buildings and structures that will reliably keep out moisture, dust and debris, and insects. Other things that shrink wrap will protect the buildings from include wild animals and vandalism. It is important to make sure that the building is indeed reliably shrink-wrapped so that it can be properly restored when the time comes for this to occur.

Historic preservation requires that prior to shrink-wrapping, a building be assessed for the risks to its preservation. The length of time that the building will need to be preserved is also important, because projects that take place over the course of several months will result in several changes in the weather. Should the structure have to endure the snows of winter, a reliable coating that can protect against this kind of threat is needed. Strong winds can also cause problems for buildings that are in need of preservation, as the risk of scattering debris all over the building is quite strong.

Tarps have been considered when buildings need to be protected from the elements for any length of time. However, it has since been shown that shrink-wrapping is a far superior sealing strategy. Shrink-wrapping these buildings for preservation is also cheaper than using a tarp. In addition, shrink wrap offers greater durability to those who work in the field of historic preservation. It is difficult for tarps, for example, to hold against strong winds of a certain velocity; shrink wrap can fill in where tarps fail to fully protect.

In order to best protect buildings that require preservation, shrink-wrapping them is the best choice.
