Choosing perforated & punched shutters for premises in Chelmsford

Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. 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. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.

What's included

  • Electric or manual operation
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Ventilation through the curtain

Where we work around Chelmsford

Jobs in Chelmsford are planned as part of our Essex coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Billericay, Witham and Maldon. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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 Chelmsford?

Yes. Chelmsford (CM1) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Billericay, Witham and Maldon.

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 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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
