What to know about perforated & punched shutters in East Grinstead
Micro-perforated laths have holes so fine that the curtain reads as solid from a distance but glows when lit from inside. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.
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.
Specification options
- Window display visible after hours
- Electric or manual operation
- Box external, behind fascia or internal
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Optional solid bottom section for kick protection
- Ventilation through the curtain

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover East Grinstead?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair perforated & punched shutters in East Grinstead and the RH19 district, as part of our coverage across West Sussex.
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.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
