Perforated & punched shutters in Grays: the essentials

Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.

Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.

What's included

  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

Rules in England

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Grays?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Grays. We also cover nearby South Ockendon, Gravesend and Dartford.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

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.
