What is Plate Glass Insurance?
Plate glass insurance covers the breakage of large glass installations in commercial buildings. Windows, doors, display cases, and glass facades are expensive to replace, and standard property policies often exclude or limit glass damage.
This cover pays for the repair or replacement of damaged glass, including labour costs. For businesses with prominent storefronts or extensive glazing, it provides targeted protection against a common and costly risk.
Internal Glass
Internal glass coverage protects glass elements within your building's interior. This includes partitions, mirrors, display cabinets, and decorative glass features. While not exposed to weather or street-level risks, internal glass is still vulnerable to accidental damage from daily operations.
External Glass
External glass coverage applies to windows, shopfronts, glass doors, and other glazing that forms part of your building's facade. This is where the real exposure lies: weather events, vandalism, vehicle impact, and accidental damage from passersby.
