If you own a commercial building or rent out a commercial space for your business with storefront windows;...you absolutely should have a Commercial Glass Insurance Policy. You should also have a window cleaning/maintenance company that is very familiar with damage protection technology, and glass inspection science. Here is why.
Glass is very prone to damage. It can be scratched, stained, etched, broken, and more. IGUs can come straight from the factory missing low e coatings, gassing, poorly cleaned interior surfaces between the plates, failed seals, and all of the above. So regular inspections should be established. The right window cleaning company should be able to help with this.
Also such a company should also be able to tie you in with a restoration company that can repair the damage saving you on your insurance policy. Or have protection technology available that could lower your monthly payments.
Damage can also come by glass breakage. When this happens you might lose the use of your store space. So it will be necessary to replace the windows as quickly as possible. Being tied in the the right glazier who can move quickly will be a great help.
I will be writing more about this subject very soon. Using the help of the Insurance Industry. So keep coming back.
