How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for

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.

Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.

What's included

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

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 Acton

Do you cover Acton?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Acton and the W3 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
