Perforated & punched shutters in Strood: the essentials

Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy.

Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.

Options we can specify

  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

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.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions

Do you cover Strood?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Strood. We also cover nearby Rochester, Chatham 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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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