In order to ensure that the central cash office at the Emirates Stadium was secure, a Security Window System from Sonic Windows was specified. The design was for two work stations, each with a Sonic Cashflow Tray of polished stainless steel set into the counter top, plus a rectangular Cash Transfer Chamber for large items at floor level to the right. Counter communication is via Sonic's Speakeasy intercom system.

The security windows in the cash office at The Emirates Stadium, which replaced Highbury as Arsenal FC's home, were designed, made and installed by Bexhill-on-Sea based Sonic Windows. The company's remit was to provide a system that would offer safety to staff, security for cash transfer and yet provide easy contact between staff and visitors in a pleasant, unthreatening atmosphere.

Security windows by Sonic Windows have been installed in Police Stations at Pembroke Dock, Milford Haven, Fishguard and Llanelli. The multilaminated glass is effective against physical attack yet allows for eye contact, while the Open Duplex intercom system offers easy, undistorted communication. Induction loops are fitted to window frames for the benefit of those with hearing aids.

Counter tops have been rounded and to each of the two Ticket Stations lower level windows have been added for wheelchair access. The bullet resistant glazing offers staff protection against theft, attack, germs and draughts. Induction loops are fitted to the windows for the benefit of those with hearing aids, and recessed 'cashflow' trays are used for the exchange of money.
