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

Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.

Specification options

  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Bishop Auckland?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bishop Auckland. We also cover nearby Newton Aycliffe, Durham and Chester-le-Street.

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.

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 I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
