What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Dunstable

The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.

Specification options

  • Window display visible after hours
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks

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. Tell us about the opening

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Dunstable?

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

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.

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 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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

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.
