What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Carlisle
Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. 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. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.
Options we can specify
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Window display visible after hours
- Electric or manual operation
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

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 Carlisle
Do you cover Carlisle?
Yes. Carlisle (CA1) is within our Cumbria coverage, along with the rest of Cumbria.
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.
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.
