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

The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.

Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.

Options we can specify

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

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.

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Blackburn

Do you cover Blackburn?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Blackburn and the BB1 district, as part of our coverage across Lancashire.

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.

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.

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.

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.
