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

Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.

Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.

Specification options

  • Window display visible after hours
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks

Rules in Northern Ireland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Northern Ireland planning permission for an external shopfront shutter is decided by your local council, which took over most planning decisions in 2015, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Design guidance generally favours shutters that keep the frontage visible.

Before you book in Carrickfergus

Do you cover Carrickfergus?

Yes. Carrickfergus (BT38) is within our County Antrim coverage, along with nearby Newtownabbey, Bangor (County Down) and Larne.

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.

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.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
