How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.
Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.
Features to choose from
- Electric or manual operation
- Window display visible after hours
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

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 Oldham
Do you cover Oldham?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Oldham and the OL1 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
