What to know about perforated & punched shutters in Galashiels
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.
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.
Specification options
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks

Your questions answered
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Galashiels and the TD1 district, as part of our coverage across Scottish Borders.
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.
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 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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
