What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Workington

Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.

Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.

Specification options

  • Window display visible after hours
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Electric or manual operation
  • 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.

Before you book in Workington

Do you cover Workington?

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

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
