What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Chester-le-Street
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.
Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.
Specification options
- Electric or manual operation
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Ventilation through the curtain

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Chester-le-Street?
Yes. Chester-le-Street (DH3) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Washington, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.
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.
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.

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