What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Dover
The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.
Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass.
Features to choose from
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Electric or manual operation
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Window display visible after hours
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

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 Dover
Do you cover Dover?
Yes. Dover (CT16) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury.
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.
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.
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.
