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.

What to think about first
Counter structure
Heavy glass needs a strong counter top and fixings. We check before quoting and include strengthening if needed.
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.
Consents and safety: 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 Billingham: questions
Do you cover Stockton-on-Tees as well as Billingham?
Yes. As well as Billingham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough and Thornaby-on-Tees. Dates depend on 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 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.
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.
