Guide prices for bullet-resistant glass in Dereham 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.

Bank, building society and post office counters
Petrol station night-pay windows

Secure reception points in public buildings

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.

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 England

England

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.

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.

Bullet-resistant glass in Dereham: questions

Can you survey in Dereham and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Dereham, Wymondham and Norwich are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
