Hi,
For the window break in "Noises Off" we used a piece of the cheaper plastic window "glass" that you can buy at the hardware store. It was scored and prebroken into about three pieces, held together with some clear tape. When the actor "broke" the glass he also threw a handful of sugar glass onto the stage. The sugar glass gave the sound and appearance of shards.
I had the sugar glass because I tried to make the original pane of glass from melted sugar poured out onto a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat baking sheet. Making my own sugar glass window pane didn't work for me but the combination of the plastic with the handful of scrap sugar glass worked well for appearance and sound.
Thinking now, you might want to try a handful of broken plastic before you go to the trouble of melting and pouring sugar. and maybe a crash box for sound.
Break a pane :)
