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.

Things to decide before you order

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.

Rules that apply in England

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 Hertfordshire: questions

Which towns in Hertfordshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Hertfordshire, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, St Albans and Welwyn Garden City, and in other towns across the area.

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 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.

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.
