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

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

Covering County Londonderry

We cover County Londonderry from Derry/Londonderry to Coleraine and Limavady, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Northern Ireland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Northern Ireland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Northern Ireland planning permission for an external shopfront shutter is decided by your local council, which took over most planning decisions in 2015, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Design guidance generally favours shutters that keep the frontage visible.

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations, by a qualified electrician. Northern Ireland has its own building regulations, and any building control requirement for the work is confirmed with your council.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
