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

Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

Specification options

  • Electric or manual operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

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.

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Folkestone

Do you cover Folkestone?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Folkestone and the CT19 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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 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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
