Choosing perforated & punched shutters for premises in March

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.

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

Options we can specify

  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

Where we work around March

Jobs in March are planned as part of our Cambridgeshire coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Wisbech, Ely and King's Lynn. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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

    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.

Before you book in March

Do you cover March?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in March. We also cover nearby Wisbech, Ely and King's Lynn.

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.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
