Perforated & punched shutters in Walkden: the essentials

The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. 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. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.

Features to choose from

  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Ventilation through the curtain

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.

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Walkden

Do you cover Walkden?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Walkden. We also cover nearby Farnworth, Swinton and Tyldesley.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
