Perforated & punched shutters in Aberdeen: the essentials
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.
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.
What's included
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Electric or manual operation
- Window display visible after hours
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Aberdeen?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Aberdeen and the AB10 district, as part of our coverage across Grampian.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
