Solid laths with pressed vision slots — close to solid-shutter strength with a sight-line into the shop. From £2,200 supplied and fitted, free survey, fixed quote.
A punched-hole shutter is what you choose when you’d pick a solid shutter — but still want to glance inside. The curtain is made of solid laths with rows of larger vision slots pressed through at intervals, keeping most of the steel intact.
The result sits deliberately between our other shutters: very close to solid-shutter strength, with enough sight-line for window checks, alarm response and a hint of display. Supplied and fitted from £2,200. Prices may differ slightly or increase depending on exact size and design requirements.
People use the names interchangeably; the shutters are not the same. A perforated curtain trades steel for visibility — thousands of small holes across every lath. A punched-hole curtain keeps the lath substantially solid and concentrates the openings into defined slots. Less view, more metal.
If your priority order is security first, visibility second, punched-hole is your shutter; if it’s the other way round, go perforated. Both beat guessing — our roller shutters guide has the full four-way comparison table.
Convenience stores and newsagents that keep cigarettes and spirits in sight of the till. Pharmacies wanting a visual check of the dispensary without exposing it. Betting shops, vape shops and mini-markets on mixed parades — busy enough that total blankness looks unwelcoming, risky enough that a grille feels light. It’s also a practical choice where a keyholder or patrol needs to see in during a night-time alarm call without opening up: the vision slots answer “is anyone inside?” from the pavement.
The punched lath keeps roughly the structural integrity of a solid curtain because the slots are pressed, not cut, and spaced to preserve the lath’s spine. Paired with heavy-gauge guides, a lockable bottom rail (or motor locking on electric models) and a properly fixed canopy, it resists levering and impact in the same league as solid — and comfortably above any grille. Insurers who ask for “security shutters” accept punched-hole curtains for most retail risk profiles; if your policy names a specific standard, tell us and we’ll spec to it in writing.
