Frequently asked questions
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.
Is the survey free in Loughton?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Loughton are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
