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.
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
How much do perforated roller shutters cost in Tunbridge Wells?
The guide prices above apply in Tunbridge Wells. Your exact price depends on size, finish, controls and access, and is fixed in writing after survey.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Tunbridge Wells?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
