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

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

Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.

Specification options

  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Electric or manual operation

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Lancaster?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Lancaster. We also cover nearby Morecambe, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys.

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.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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