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.

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.

Glazing rules in England

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 Hampshire: questions

Which towns in Hampshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Gosport and Waterlooville, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.
