How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for

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.

Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

Options we can specify

  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Ventilation through the curtain

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.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions

Do you cover Gateshead?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Gateshead. We also cover nearby Wallsend, Hebburn and Jarrow.

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
