Glass breakage coverage does not include which of the following?

• A. Storm windows and doors
• B. Buildings under construction or vacant even if permission for construction or vacancy has been given by the insurer.
• C. Insured's rented dwelling.
• D. Detached private structures.

Answer: (B)

Glass breakage coverage is an endorsement that protects against the cost to replace or repair glass in the dwelling and related fixtures when it breaks due to covered perils. A key limitation to understand is that it does not apply to buildings under construction or buildings that are vacant, even if the insurer has given permission for construction or vacancy. Occupancy status affects risk, and insurers typically exclude glass in non-occupied structures because vandalism, theft, and weather exposure are higher when a building isn’t being actively used. Because this is the clear exclusion, that option identifies what the coverage does not include. The other items—storm windows and doors, and detached private structures—are generally covered under glass breakage coverage, depending on policy terms, while coverage for an insured’s rented dwelling depends on the specific policy.
