The protection level is set by a risk assessment of the site.

Getting the right glass for your building
Counter structure
Heavy glass needs a strong counter top and fixings. We check before quoting and include strengthening if needed.
Continuity
Rated glass next to an unrated counter front or plasterboard wall leaves a gap. We protect the whole line.
What the rules say in England
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.
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 Rickmansworth: questions
Which areas near Rickmansworth do you cover?
We can arrange work in Rickmansworth and in nearby Watford (4 miles), Chalfont St Peter (4 miles) and Gerrards Cross (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
