Glass Transaction Windows

Island Glass Company installs secure transaction and speak-through windows for banks, clinics, and dispensaries across Whittier and Southern California.

Glass Transaction Windows

Island Glass Company builds and installs secure glass transaction windows for banks, credit unions, medical clinics, pharmacies, dental offices, cash-handling retail, and reception desks across Whittier and the surrounding Southern California cities. A transaction window separates staff from visitors while still allowing clear communication and secure exchange of documents or payment.

What we install

  • Speak-through windows — framed glass windows with an integrated speak-thru grille or voice amplifier so staff and visitors can hear each other clearly without opening the glass
  • Deal trays — stainless steel or polished aluminum trays set below the window so customers can slide documents, cards, or cash under the glass
  • Sliding transaction windows — horizontal sliding glass panels for pickup and drop-off windows, common in pharmacies and medical offices
  • Pass-through drawers — drawers that cycle on a lock so only one side is open at a time, for cash-handling and high-security applications
  • Full bandit barriers — combined systems of ballistic glass, deal trays, and pass-through hardware for banks, check-cashing, and dispensaries

Glass specs

Transaction window glass is typically laminated or bullet-resistant, not just tempered. Specs depend on threat level:

  • Laminated safety glass — 1/2-inch or 9/16-inch laminated (two lites with a PVB or SGP interlayer), resists impact and stays in place if broken
  • Bullet-resistant (UL-752) glass — rated Level 1 through Level 8 depending on the caliber and number of rounds it is designed to stop
  • Acrylic and polycarbonate — lighter-weight alternatives for lower threat levels or where weight matters

Where this works

  • Bank teller stations
  • Dispensary reception and sales windows
  • Medical and dental reception desks
  • Pharmacy pickup windows
  • Courthouse and government reception
  • Cash-handling retail (check cashing, pawn, jewelry)

Glass Transaction Windows — FAQs

What bulletproof glass ratings do you install? +

Island Glass Company installs UL-752 rated ballistic glazing from Level 1 (9mm handgun) through Level 8 (7.62mm rifle) for transaction windows, cashier enclosures, and security doors. Most retail and cannabis applications use Level 3 laminated acrylic or polycarbonate composites, while banks and dispensaries often specify Level 4 or higher. We help you match the rating to your threat profile during the design consultation.

Are your commercial storefronts ADA compliant? +

Yes. Our commercial storefront systems are installed to current ADA standards, including 32-inch minimum clear door width, maximum 5-pound opening force on interior doors, compliant threshold heights, and lever-style hardware mounted between 34 and 48 inches above the floor. We coordinate with your general contractor or architect to make sure the entire entrance package passes final inspection.

How long does a commercial storefront installation take? +

Most single-storefront projects take 2 to 4 weeks from measure to install: roughly 10 to 15 business days for aluminum framing and glass fabrication, followed by 1 to 3 days of on-site installation depending on size. Emergency board-ups and same-week temporary glazing are available if your existing storefront was damaged.

Do you install transaction windows for pharmacies and dispensaries? +

Yes. We fabricate and install secure transaction windows with laminated or UL-752 ballistic glazing, stainless deal trays, and speak-through grilles for pharmacies, dispensaries, cash-heavy retail, and municipal counters. Typical installs pair a fixed security pane with a sliding or pass-through unit so your staff can serve customers without compromising protection.
