What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Kirkwall

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

Options we can specify

  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Electric or manual operation
  • 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

  3. Written fixed price

Your questions answered

Do you cover Kirkwall?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Kirkwall. We also cover the rest of Highlands & Islands.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
