Perforated & punched shutters in Worcestershire: the essentials

Punched laths have larger slots, giving better visibility and more airflow, at the cost of a little privacy. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see. Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering.

Perforated laths let shop lighting show through at night, which keeps a high street looking open and lived-in. The perforated section can run the full height or start above a solid bottom section for extra kick protection.

Features to choose from

  • Window display visible after hours
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Electric or manual operation
  • Ventilation through the curtain
  • Box external, behind fascia or internal
  • Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths

Covering Worcestershire

We cover Worcestershire from Worcester to Redditch, Kidderminster and Malvern, with 8 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
