Insurer Questions

  • What glass and glazing products are supplied?
  • What are the average and maximum stock values?
  • Are goods cut, processed, toughened, laminated or only distributed?
  • How are glass products stored, moved, secured and delivered?
  • Do you install, repair or subcontract glazing work?

Fragile Stock and Warehouse Handling

Glass stock can be expensive to replace and difficult to recover once damaged. Insurers usually review stillages, racking, forklift controls, storage layout, fire protections, security and handling procedures.

Trade Deliveries and Product Liability

Supplying glass to glaziers and contractors can create product and transit exposure. Delivery controls, batch traceability, customer order checks and contract terms can all affect how cover should be arranged.
