What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Thatcham

Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.

Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.

  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Thatcham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Thatcham and the RG18 district, as part of our coverage across 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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
