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.

- Laminated, anti-bandit or BS EN 1063 bullet-resistant glass

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
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
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.
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.

Counter and reception security screens in Tewkesbury: questions
Do you cover Cheltenham as well as Tewkesbury?
Yes. As well as Tewkesbury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Cheltenham, Gloucester and Malvern. 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.
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.
