Questions about perforated roller shutters in Peterborough
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
Are perforated shutters less secure?
They are slightly lighter than solid shutters of the same gauge, but still form a strong physical barrier. Solid bottom laths add kick resistance.
Do you cover Peterborough?
Yes. Peterborough and the PE1 postcode district are part of our coverage across Cambridgeshire.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Peterborough?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
