Your CT homeowners insurance coverage provides financial protection from perils such as disastrous weather events, theft and liability claims. There is also a product that provides some physical protection from the same risks: it’s called shatterproof glass. Like the glass in the windshield of your car, shatterproof glass for the windows and doors of your home is made from a layer of plastic sandwiched between to sheets of glass.

• Shatterproof glass panes in windows and doors may make your home more weather proof by providing a reliable weather seal to keep out hailstorms and high winds.
• Shatterproof glass in windows and doors slows a burglar who is trying to break into your home. A thief faced by shatterproof glass may go elsewhere rather than spend time trying to force a way into your home.
• Shatterproof glass is less likely to cause serious injury to a person who falls against it. A guest who is unfamiliar with your home may try to walk through a closed glass door, but is not likely to receive serious cuts because broken fragments of shatterproof glass stick to the plastic inner section of the door pane.

Tinted shatterproof glass can also enhance the privacy of your home and has insulating qualities that could reduce the cost of heating and cooling your home. It’s a good idea to talk to your agent or insurer if you are considering fitting shatterproof glass in your home, because improving the safety, storm resistance and security of your home may qualify you for discounted CT homeowners insurance premiums.
