Our guide range for bullet-resistant glass is £995 to £2,995 plus VAT (£1,194 to £3,594 inc VAT) per m², supplied and fitted. Work in Oban is arranged individually, so travel and glass delivery are confirmed in your written price before anything is booked.
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. Ratings belong to the manufacturer's tested product, and their test evidence comes with your quote.

- BS EN 1063 classes BR1 to BR7 and SG1 or SG2

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.
S or NS
If staff sit within arm's reach of the glass, specify NS so that no splinters come off the inside face.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for Scottish premises, stock and cash, and may name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B. Get the wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we supply the manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
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 Oban: questions
Can you work in Oban?
Work in Oban is arranged individually because of travel. Send your postcode and details and we will confirm what is possible.
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.
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.
