What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Canterbury

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.

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring.

Options we can specify

  • Electric or manual operation
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

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.

How it works

  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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Canterbury?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Canterbury. We also cover nearby Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham.

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.

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.

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.
