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. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.
Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.
Specification options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Window display visible after hours
- Electric or manual operation
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

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 Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Ashton-under-Lyne and the OL7 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
