Perforated & punched shutters in Gloucestershire: the essentials
The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.
Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring.
Options we can specify
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Electric or manual operation
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

Covering Gloucestershire
We cover Gloucestershire from Gloucester to Cheltenham, Stroud and Kingswood, with 7 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
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.
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 homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
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.
