Perforated roller shutters in Ashford (Kent): questions
Why do councils prefer perforated shutters?

They are slightly lighter than solid shutters of the same gauge, but still form a strong physical barrier. Solid bottom laths add kick resistance.

The guide prices above apply in Ashford (Kent). Your exact price depends on size, finish, controls and access, and is fixed in writing after survey.
