Glass Insurance*
Glass insurance provides cover for breakage of internal and external glass and signage you own or for which you are legally responsible, at the insured premises.
Did you know?
- Insurers will generally pay the cost to repair or replace glass with similar quality and must comply with current Australian Standards.
What’s typically covered?
- External glass breakage
- Destruction of stock or contents (caused by broken glass that constitutes a claim)
- Signs made of glass or plastic which forms part of an illuminated sign
- Costs for after-hours service, express delivery and overtime by repairers
What’s typically NOT covered?
Repair or replacement for glass:
- Which is stock
- Which is in poor condition (eg. chipped) when the period of cover commences
- Which is part of a greenhouse, computer screen, vase, television screen, radio, conservatory, or is damaged in transit
Things to consider
- Would the cost of replacing internal or external glass or a fixed mirror put financial pressure on your business?
- Does your commercial lease agreement require you to insure glass? This is a common requirement requested by landlords.
- Are you in an area that is prone to malicious damage to shopfronts, such as an entertainment or nightclub district?
