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

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.

What's included

  • Electric or manual operation
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

Rules in Scotland

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.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions

Do you cover Musselburgh?

Yes. Musselburgh (EH21) is within our Edinburgh & the Lothians coverage, along with nearby Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and Dunfermline.

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.

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
