Perforated & punched shutters in Retford: the essentials
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. 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. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.
Options we can specify
- Electric or manual operation
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Window display visible after hours
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions
Do you cover Retford?
Yes. Retford (DN22) is within our Nottinghamshire coverage, along with nearby Worksop, Gainsborough and Doncaster.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
