What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Derry/Londonderry
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.
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.
Options we can specify
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Window display visible after hours
- Electric or manual operation
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Derry/Londonderry?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Derry/Londonderry. We also cover nearby Strabane and Limavady.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
