What is the price of bullet-resistant glass in Acton?
Our guide range for bullet-resistant glass in Acton is £995 to £2,995 plus VAT (£1,194 to £3,594 inc VAT) per m², including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
S or NS
If staff sit within arm's reach of the glass, specify NS so that no splinters come off the inside face.
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.

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.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Bullet-resistant glass in Acton: questions
Can you survey in Acton and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Acton, Chiswick and Shepherds Bush are booked around 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.
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.
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.
