Choosing perforated & punched shutters for premises in South Yorkshire
Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring.
Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.
Specification options
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Electric or manual operation
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

Covering South Yorkshire
We cover South Yorkshire from Sheffield to Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley, with 5 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
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
