GlassPro® from NIP Group is a specialty insurance program built for the glass industry. Whether your client is a glazier, glass dealer, or installer, GlassPro® delivers tailored coverages that address the risks of glass handling, transport, and installation. The program is especially useful for accounts that are difficult to place in standard markets because of the specialized exposures glass work creates.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
GlassPro® targets businesses whose primary operations involve glass sales, fabrication, or installation. Typical classes include:
- Glass and glazing contractors (glaziers)
- Glass dealers and merchants
- Commercial and residential glass installers
Examples you may bring: a contractor installing custom storefront glass for retail tenants, or a firm specializing in high-rise window glazing that needs coverage for installation exposures and transit. Accounts with significant installation, transportation, or on-site glazing work are a strong fit.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
GlassPro® addresses the liability, property, and inland marine risks common to glass trades. NIP Group places this program with multiple carrier partners so you can tailor coverage to the account’s exposures. Typical options include:
- Commercial General Liability and property coverage
- Installation floaters to cover glass while being installed
- Inland marine for tools, equipment, and mobile property
- Commercial auto where business autos are exposed
- Workers’ Compensation in selected states
Because NIP Group works with several markets, you can often structure limits, deductibles, and endorsements to match complex or high-exposure operations.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Minimum premiums vary by state, account size, and selected coverages. To speed placement, include a completed application, current loss runs, and clear details on operations, payroll, revenues, vehicle use, and any subcontracting practices. NIP Group’s underwriters can provide guidance on needed documentation and common credits or restrictions for high-risk operations.
