Perforated & punched shutters in Nottinghamshire: the essentials

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Electric or manual operation
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

Covering Nottinghamshire

We cover Nottinghamshire from Nottingham to Mansfield, Worksop and Newark-on-Trent, with 10 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

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 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.

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 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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
