Perforated & punched shutters in Maidstone: the essentials

Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. 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. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

What's included

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

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

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Maidstone

Do you cover Maidstone?

Yes. Maidstone (ME14) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham.

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
