Choosing perforated & punched shutters for premises in Whitehaven

Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.

Features to choose from

  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

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 Whitehaven?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Whitehaven. We also cover nearby Workington.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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