What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Farnworth
Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring.
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.
Options we can specify
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Electric or manual operation
- Window display visible after hours

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Before you book in Farnworth
Do you cover Farnworth?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Farnworth. We also cover nearby Walkden, Bolton and Radcliffe.
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.
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 you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
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.
