How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.
Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.
What's included
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Electric or manual operation
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Ventilation through the curtain

Covering Shropshire
We cover Shropshire from Telford to Shrewsbury, Wellington (Shropshire) and Ludlow, with 4 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.

Your questions answered
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 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.
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.
