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

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.

Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

What's included

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

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.

  3. You approve a fixed price

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Hove

Do you cover Hove?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Hove. We also cover nearby Burgess Hill, Worthing and Haywards Heath.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
