    Scratches easily, not as optically clear, can distort and discolour, not cheap.

    Only worth considering if doing a like-for-like replacement of a single glazed pane AND have a significant risk of a break in/vandalism. Even then, you can get a security film on a glass pane which achieves much the same thing.

    If you have infinite money then you can get a polycarbonate-glass laminated unit which offers best of all worlds (including superior acoustic performance).
