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.

Things to decide before you order
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.
Which BR class
Most UK counters that need ballistic protection specify a handgun class such as BR2 to BR4. Rifle classes are for specialist sites where a threat assessment calls for them.
Rules that apply in England
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
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 Ripley: questions
Can you survey in Ripley and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Ripley, Heanor and Belper 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.
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 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.
