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

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

Features to choose from

  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • 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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Cambridge

Do you cover Cambridge?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Cambridge and the CB1 district, as part of our coverage across Cambridgeshire.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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

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.
