Choosing perforated & punched shutters for premises in Reading
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.
The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.
Specification options
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Window display visible after hours
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

Rules in England

Your questions answered
Do you cover Reading?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Reading and the RG1 district, as part of our coverage across Berkshire.
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.
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.
