How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.
Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.
Options we can specify
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Electric or manual operation
- Window display visible after hours

Rules in England

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions
Do you cover Truro?
Yes. Truro (TR1) is within our Cornwall coverage, along with nearby Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay.
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
