What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Nottingham
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.
Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring.
Specification options
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Window display visible after hours
- Electric or manual operation
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

Rules in England
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.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions
Do you cover Nottingham?
Yes. Nottingham (NG1) is within our Nottinghamshire coverage, along with nearby West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall.
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.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
