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

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.

Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

Options we can specify

  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

  2. We survey the opening

  3. You approve a fixed price

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

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Widnes

Do you cover Widnes?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Widnes. We also cover nearby Runcorn, Halewood and Prescot.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
