What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Ellesmere Port
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.
The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.
Options we can specify
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Electric or manual operation
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- 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.

Before you book in Ellesmere Port
Do you cover Ellesmere Port?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ellesmere Port. We also cover nearby Chester, Halewood and Bebington.
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.
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 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.
