How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.
The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.
Features to choose from
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Consett?
Yes. Consett (DH8) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Stanley, Chester-le-Street and Durham.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
