Perforated & punched shutters in Cirencester: the essentials
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.
Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.
Specification options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Electric or manual operation
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Window display visible after hours
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Cirencester?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Cirencester. We also cover nearby Stroud, Cheltenham and Swindon.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
