What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Glasgow & Dunbartonshire

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.

Options we can specify

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

Covering Glasgow & Dunbartonshire

We cover Glasgow & Dunbartonshire from Glasgow to Bearsden, Clydebank and Bishopbriggs, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Before you book in Glasgow & Dunbartonshire

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.

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.
