Perforated & punched shutters in Hitchin: the essentials

Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.

What's included

  • Electric or manual operation
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Window display visible after hours

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.

  3. Written fixed price

Your questions answered

Do you cover Hitchin?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Hitchin. We also cover nearby Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage and Luton.

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.

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 repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
