Frequently asked questions
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.
Why do councils prefer perforated shutters?
They keep shopping streets looking lit and active after hours rather than lined with blank steel, which many shopfront design guides encourage.
How much do perforated roller shutters cost in Penzance?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Penzance confirms the specification and fixes the price.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Penzance?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
