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.

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.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Scotland. 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 people see them. The duty holder's risk assessment decides where.

Counter and reception security screens in Kelso: questions
Do you cover Galashiels as well as Kelso?
Yes. As well as Kelso, we can arrange work in nearby Galashiels. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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 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.
