What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Brighton
Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.
Features to choose from
- Electric or manual operation
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Window display visible after hours
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Brighton?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Brighton and the BN2 district, as part of our coverage across East Sussex.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
