Our guide range for counter and reception security screens in Cardiff is £1,295 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,554 to £8,394 inc VAT) per counter, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.
Glass and fitting options
- Laminated, anti-bandit or BS EN 1063 bullet-resistant glass
- Built to the level set by your risk assessment
- Transaction trays and document drawers
- Hearing loop and lighting provision
- Counter-front and end-wall protection to match

What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: 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.
Insurer requirements
Insurers in Wales, as elsewhere, can set conditions for premises, stock and cash, sometimes naming a BS EN 356 class for shop or counter glass. Get the policy wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.

Counter and reception security screens in Cardiff: questions
Can you survey in Cardiff and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Cardiff, Penarth and Caerphilly are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
