How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.
The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.
What's included
- Electric or manual operation
- Window display visible after hours
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

Rules in England

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions
Do you cover Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Yes. Ashton-in-Makerfield (WN4) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Golborne, Newton-le-Willows and St Helens.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
