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

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.

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.

Building regulations and safety in Wales

Wales

Glazing in workplaces

Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Wales. 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 they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where that applies.

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen, under Approved Document B for Wales and, in non-domestic premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it, so the two cannot simply be swapped.

Bullet-resistant glass in Rhondda: questions

Do you cover Tonypandy as well as Rhondda?

Yes. As well as Rhondda, we can arrange surveys in nearby Tonypandy, Aberdare and Pontypridd. Dates depend on installer availability.

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 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.

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.
