Perforated & punched shutters in Coulsdon: the essentials
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.
Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.
Specification options
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Window display visible after hours
- Ventilation through the curtain
- 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.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions
Do you cover Coulsdon?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Coulsdon. We also cover nearby Purley, Banstead and Wallington.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
