What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Bolton
Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.
Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.
Features to choose from
- Window display visible after hours
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- 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.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions
Do you cover Bolton?
Yes. Bolton (BL1) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Farnworth, Westhoughton and Radcliffe.
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 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 your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
