A counter security screen is a framed glass screen fitted along a counter or reception desk, with a speech panel and a transaction tray, so staff can serve people face to face while separated from them by laminated, anti-bandit or bullet-resistant glass. The protection level is set by a risk assessment of the site.

Protection level

Choose laminated for deterrence, anti-bandit for tool attack or bullet-resistant where a threat assessment calls for it. Everything else is built to match.

Continuity

Rated glass next to an unrated counter front or plasterboard wall leaves a gap. We protect the whole line.

Glazing rules in England

England

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

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.

Counter and reception security screens in Bedfordshire: questions

Which towns in Bedfordshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Bedfordshire, including Luton, Bedford, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill.

Do counter screens need planning permission?

Internal screens do not normally need planning permission. In listed buildings, listed building consent may be needed for fixings into historic fabric.

Do the trays weaken the screen?

They should not. Transaction trays are designed so there is no straight path through, and their level should match the glass.

Can staff still hear customers through the screen?

Yes. Speech panels let sound pass while keeping the screen closed, and hearing loops help customers with hearing aids.
