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

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.

Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

Features to choose from

  • Electric or manual operation
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

Covering Berkshire

We cover Berkshire from Reading to Slough, Bracknell and Maidenhead, with 10 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Before you book in Berkshire

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.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

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.
