As a guide, allow £1,295 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,554 to £8,394 inc VAT) per counter for counter and reception security screens in Weston-super-Mare, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

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.

Getting the right glass for your building

Speech and accessibility

Speech panels, low-level sections and hearing loops make the counter usable for everyone.

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.

What the rules say 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.

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 Weston-super-Mare: questions

Can you survey in Weston-super-Mare and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea and Clevedon are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
