What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Luton
Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.
Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.
Options we can specify
- Electric or manual operation
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Luton?
Yes. Luton (LU1) is within our Bedfordshire coverage, along with nearby Dunstable, Harpenden and Hitchin.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
