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.

- Single panes or sealed units for external use

Before the glass is ordered
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.
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.
Glazing rules 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.
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 Greenwich: questions
Which areas near Greenwich do you cover?
We can arrange work in Greenwich and in nearby Blackheath (1 mile), Canary Wharf (2 miles) and Catford (2 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.
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.
