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

Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

Features to choose from

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

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Bedford

Do you cover Bedford?

Yes. Bedford (MK40) is within our Bedfordshire coverage, along with nearby Ampthill, St Neots and Rushden.

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.

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.

Is a perforated shutter less secure than a solid one?

The holes are small and the laths are the same gauge, so a perforated shutter still resists forced entry. For the highest-risk premises, a rated product or solid steel may still be recommended.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
