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.

- Speech panels and deal trays that keep the protection continuous
- Matching rated frames, joints and transaction trays
- Glass-clad polycarbonate options to save weight

Questions we will ask at the survey
S or NS

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 England
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

Bullet-resistant glass in Bracknell: questions
Which areas near Bracknell do you cover?
We can arrange work in Bracknell and in nearby Crowthorne (3 miles), Wokingham (4 miles) and Sandhurst (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you fit bullet-resistant glass into existing frames?
Rarely. Ballistic glass is thick and heavy and its rating depends on a frame tested with it. In most cases the frame and glass are replaced together.
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.
