Our perforated roller shutters service in Oxford
For shops in Oxford, the shutter is specified around how often it runs, how the frontage looks and what your landlord or council expects.
Perforated and grille shutters let passers-by in Oxford see the window display after hours, which many councils prefer on shopping streets.
Whether your property is in the centre of Oxford or on its edges, it is included in our Oxfordshire coverage. Abingdon, Didcot and Witney are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Planning and safety in Oxford
As an English city, Oxford follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.

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.
