Choosing perforated & punched shutters for premises in Fort William

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.

Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

Specification options

  • Window display visible after hours
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions

Do you cover Fort William?

Yes. Fort William (PH33) is within our Highlands & Islands coverage, along with the rest of Highlands & Islands.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

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.
