Perforated & punched shutters in Leicester: the essentials

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.

Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

Features to choose from

  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Electric or manual operation
  • 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.

Before you book in Leicester

Do you cover Leicester?

Yes. Leicester (LE1) is within our Leicestershire coverage, along with nearby Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough.

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.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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