What to know about perforated & punched shutters in South Shields

Airflow through a perforated curtain helps ventilate a closed unit and reduces condensation behind the glass. Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside.

Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.

Options we can specify

  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
  • Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
  • Window display visible after hours

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.

Perforated & punched shutters: common questions

Do you cover South Shields?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in South Shields. We also cover nearby Tynemouth, North Shields and Jarrow.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

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.
