Bullet-resistant glass is a thick laminated composite of glass, interlayers and often polycarbonate that is tested to stop specific firearms under BS EN 1063. The class, from BR1 to BR7 plus the shotgun classes SG1 and SG2, describes the weapon and ammunition the glass has been shown to stop.

Questions we will ask at the survey

Weight and structure

Ballistic glass is very heavy. The counter, floor and fixings must carry it, and some sites need a lighter glass-clad polycarbonate makeup.

The rest of the screen

Frames, joints, trays and the wall below the counter must give matching protection, or the weakest part decides the real level.

Building regulations and safety in Scotland

Scotland

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under section 2 of the Building Standards technical handbooks and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for non-domestic premises. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.

Planning permission

Under the Scottish planning system the council decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers in a road or footway need consent from the roads authority, which is normally the council.

Bullet-resistant glass in Stonehaven: questions

Can you survey in Stonehaven and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Stonehaven, Aberdeen and Montrose are booked around installer availability.

Can any glass stop every bullet?

No. Glass is tested to resist particular weapons and ammunition, which is why it is called bullet-resistant and given a BS EN 1063 class rather than described as stopping everything.

What does NS mean on bullet-resistant glass?

NS means no splinters came off the protected face during the test. S means some fragments did. NS is the safer choice where people sit close behind the glass.

How thick is bullet-resistant glass?

It ranges from around 20 mm for lower handgun classes to well over 50 mm for rifle classes, depending on the manufacturer's makeup and whether polycarbonate is used.
