Perforated & punched shutters in Bow: the essentials

Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.

The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.

Features to choose from

  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Electric or manual operation

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.

  3. You approve a fixed price

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Bow

Do you cover Bow?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Bow and the E3 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.

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 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 repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
