How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.
Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.
Specification options
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Window display visible after hours
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Electric or manual operation
- 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 Exeter
Do you cover Exeter?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Exeter and the EX2 district, as part of our coverage across Devon.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
