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.

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
S or NS
If staff sit within arm's reach of the glass, specify NS so that no splinters come off the inside face.
What the rules say in Northern Ireland
Planning permission
Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils, which decide whether a new or altered shopfront needs permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers on a public footway need consent from the Department for Infrastructure's roads service.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for premises, stock and cash in Northern Ireland, and may name a glazing class in the policy. Get the wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.

Bullet-resistant glass in Enniskillen: questions
Which areas near Enniskillen do you cover?
We can arrange work in Enniskillen and in nearby Irvinestown (9 miles), Lisnaskea (10 miles) and Omagh (22 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.
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 do I know which BR class I need?
From a risk assessment of your site, often done by your security adviser, insurer or head office. We then quote glass and framing tested to that class.
