Perforated & punched shutters in Dundee & Angus: the essentials

Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.

Features to choose from

  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Ventilation through the curtain

Covering Dundee & Angus

We cover Dundee & Angus from Dundee to Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.

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.

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Before you book in Dundee & Angus

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 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.

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 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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
