Perforated & punched shutters in Welwyn Garden City: the essentials
Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.
Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.
Options we can specify
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Window display visible after hours
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Box external, behind fascia or internal

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 Welwyn Garden City?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Welwyn Garden City. We also cover nearby Hatfield, Hertford and St Albans.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
