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. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

What's included

  • Window display visible after hours
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

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.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions

Do you cover Eastbourne?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Eastbourne and the BN21 district, as part of our coverage across East Sussex.

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.

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.

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.
