How perforated & punched shutters work, and what to ask for
Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. 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. Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in.
Features to choose from
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Window display visible after hours
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift blocks
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Electric or manual operation

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Sutton Coldfield?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Sutton Coldfield. We also cover nearby Aldridge, Tamworth and Walsall.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
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.
