Perforated & punched shutters in Westminster: the essentials

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.

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

Features to choose from

  • Window display visible after hours
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • 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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions

Do you cover Westminster?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Westminster and the SW1 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
