How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.
Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.
Options we can specify
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Electric or manual operation
- Box external, behind fascia or internal

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Before you book in Darlington
Do you cover Darlington?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Darlington. We also cover nearby Newton Aycliffe, Stockton-on-Tees and Thornaby-on-Tees.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
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.
