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.

Getting the right glass for your building
Speech and accessibility
Speech panels, low-level sections and hearing loops make the counter usable for everyone.
Counter structure
Heavy glass needs a strong counter top and fixings. We check before quoting and include strengthening if needed.
What the rules say in Northern Ireland
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under Technical Booklet E and, for non-domestic premises, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for premises, stock and cash in Northern Ireland, and may name a glazing class in the policy. Get the wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.

Counter and reception security screens in Portadown: questions
Can you survey in Portadown and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Portadown, Craigavon and Lurgan are booked around installer availability.
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.
Can you add a screen to our existing counter?
Usually, if the counter is strong enough. We check its construction and include strengthening where needed.
What level of screen do we need?
That comes from your risk assessment, head office standards or insurer. Many receptions need laminated screens; cash-handling sites may need anti-bandit or bullet-resistant screens.
