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.
Choices you can make
- Laminated, anti-bandit or BS EN 1063 bullet-resistant glass
- Speech panels set into the glass
- Transaction trays and document drawers
- Hearing loop and lighting provision
- Built to the level set by your risk assessment

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 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.
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.

Counter and reception security screens in Exmouth: questions
Which areas near Exmouth do you cover?
We can arrange work in Exmouth and in nearby Exeter (9 miles), Newton Abbot (11 miles) and Torquay (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
