How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for

Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.

The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring.

What's included

  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Window display visible after hours

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. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Forfar?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Forfar. We also cover nearby Arbroath and Montrose.

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.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

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

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
