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.

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 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 Brighton: questions
Which areas near Brighton do you cover?
We can arrange work in Brighton and in nearby Hove (1 mile), Portslade (3 miles) and Burgess Hill (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
