Choosing perforated & punched shutters for premises in Harlow

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring.

Options we can specify

  • Electric or manual operation
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Ventilation through the curtain

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 Harlow?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Harlow. We also cover nearby Hoddesdon, Bishop's Stortford and Waltham Abbey.

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.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
