Perforated & punched shutters in Lerwick: the essentials

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.

Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.

Features to choose from

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

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. Tell us about the opening

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Lerwick

Do you cover Lerwick?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Lerwick and the ZE1 district, as part of our coverage across Highlands & Islands.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
