What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Margate

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. 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. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

Specification options

  • Window display visible after hours
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Margate?

Yes. Margate (CT9) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Deal.

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 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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
