How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

Features to choose from

  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Dartford

Do you cover Dartford?

Yes. Dartford (DA1) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Bexley, Swanley and Welling.

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.

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
