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
Continuity
Rated glass next to an unrated counter front or plasterboard wall leaves a gap. We protect the whole line.
Speech and accessibility
Speech panels, low-level sections and hearing loops make the counter usable for everyone.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Scotland. Windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety requires it, and marked so people see them. The duty holder's risk assessment decides where.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for Scottish premises, stock and cash, and may name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B. Get the wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we supply the manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

Counter and reception security screens in Penicuik: questions
Do you cover Dalkeith as well as Penicuik?
Yes. As well as Penicuik, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dalkeith, Edinburgh and Musselburgh. 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.
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.
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.
