What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Rochester
Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.
The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.
What's included
- Window display visible after hours
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Rochester?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Rochester. We also cover nearby Chatham, Strood and Gillingham.
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.
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.
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.
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.
