Choosing perforated & punched shutters for premises in Dumfries

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. 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. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

Features to choose from

  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Ventilation through the curtain

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the opening

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Dumfries

Do you cover Dumfries?

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

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.

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 the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
