How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.
Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. Perforations slightly reduce the weight of the curtain, which can help a motor or a push-up spring.
Options we can specify
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Electric or manual operation
- Window display visible after hours
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions
Do you cover North Shields?
Yes. North Shields (NE29) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Tynemouth, South Shields and Whitley Bay.
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 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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
