What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Letchworth Garden City
Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.
Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. 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
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Window display visible after hours
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Electric or manual operation
- 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.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions
Do you cover Letchworth Garden City?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Letchworth Garden City and the SG6 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.
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.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
