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

Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours. Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells.

Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.

Options we can specify

  • Window display visible after hours
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Questions about perforated & punched shutters in Newcastle upon Tyne

Do you cover Newcastle upon Tyne?

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

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.

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 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.

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.
