What is the price of bullet-resistant glass in Swansea?
Guide prices for bullet-resistant glass in Swansea 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
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.
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.
Building regulations and safety in 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.
Insurer requirements
Insurers in Wales, as elsewhere, can set conditions for premises, stock and cash, sometimes naming a BS EN 356 class for shop or counter glass. Get the policy wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.

Bullet-resistant glass in Swansea: questions
Do you cover Gorseinon as well as Swansea?
Yes. As well as Swansea, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gorseinon, Port Talbot and Neath. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
