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 Wales

Wales

Glazing in workplaces

Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Wales. 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 they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where that applies.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.

Counter and reception security screens in Powys: questions

Which towns in Powys do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Powys, including Brecon, Llandrindod Wells, Newtown and Welshpool.

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.

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.
