How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for

Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.

Specification options

  • Electric or manual operation
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Ampthill?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ampthill. We also cover nearby Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard.

Can people see into the shop?

With punched laths, yes, fairly clearly. Micro-perforated laths give a softer view that mainly shows light and shapes. We can show samples at survey.

Do perforated shutters let rain in?

A little water can pass through the perforations in driving rain, which is why they are normally fitted in front of glazing rather than as the only weather barrier.

Are perforated shutters easier to get planning for?

Often, because they avoid a blank frontage at night, but each council decides case by case and some refuse any external shutter in conservation areas.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
