What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Seaham

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

Features to choose from

  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Window display visible after hours
  • 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 Seaham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Seaham and the SR7 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.

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.

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.

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 warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
