Glass vs. Lexan as boat windshields and windows

I have not seen this topic discussed. Since I am planning on building my boat soon I was wondering what experiences people have had with the durability of these materials over time when in the marine environment.

 

Lexax does scratch and turn white with prolonged salt contact,safety glass cut to fit is the best.

 

Jonathan, toughened glass is my preferance if the panes are flat, if curved or your chasing weight the lexan may be the go, as curved glass cost tend to go a bit high, seen one boat with both, glass on the outside & lexan on the inside in case glass shatter 'cos of whatever? Regards from Jeff.

 

Hi john, topic is discussed but windows on boats is a bit of a study
