How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for

Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.

Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

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.

Before you book in Bishop's Stortford

Do you cover Bishop's Stortford?

Yes. Bishop's Stortford (CM23) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Harlow, Hoddesdon and Hertford.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
