What is the price of bullet-resistant glass in Renfrew?
Guide prices for bullet-resistant glass in Renfrew are £995 to £2,995 plus VAT (£1,194 to £3,594 inc VAT) per m² for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.
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.
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
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Scotland. Windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety requires it, and marked so people see them. The duty holder's risk assessment decides where.
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 Renfrew: questions
Can you survey in Renfrew and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Renfrew, Clydebank and Paisley are booked around 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 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 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.
