Perforated & punched shutters in Felixstowe: the essentials

Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.

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.

Specification options

  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Window display visible after hours
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks

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.

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Felixstowe

Do you cover Felixstowe?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in Felixstowe and the IP11 district, as part of our coverage across Suffolk.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
