How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.
Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.
Specification options
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Electric or manual operation
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

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.

Before you book in Cheltenham
Do you cover Cheltenham?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Cheltenham. We also cover nearby Tewkesbury, Stroud and Cirencester.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
