Guide prices for bullet-resistant glass in Coventry 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.

Fitting in Coventry and nearby
Coventry is about 17 miles from Birmingham, the main centre for West Midlands. We can survey and fit across the CV1 district and in nearby places such as Kenilworth and Bedworth.
The West Midlands spans Birmingham's city-centre offices and shopping streets, Coventry's post-war precincts, Black Country terraces and long suburban high streets in Wolverhampton and Dudley.

- Bureaux de change and cash offices
- Bank, building society and post office counters
- Secure reception points in public buildings
- Security gatehouses and control rooms
Before the glass is ordered
S or NS
If staff sit within arm's reach of the glass, specify NS so that no splinters come off the inside face.
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.
Glazing rules in England
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.
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 Coventry: questions
Which areas near Coventry do you cover?
We can arrange work in Coventry and in nearby Kenilworth (5 miles), Bedworth (5 miles) and Nuneaton (8 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
