Welcome to Redwood Shopfront
Want to secure your shopfront without hiding your display after closing? Perforated and punched roller shutters are designed for businesses that need protection, visibility, airflow, and a cleaner street-facing appearance.
At Redwood Shopfront, we supply and install high-quality perforated and punched roller shutters across London, designed for retail shops, showrooms, kiosks, and commercial properties that want protection with openness. For higher-risk premises, high security steel roller shutters may be a better fit.
Perforated shutters usually use smaller openings for balanced visibility and airflow, while punched shutters use larger openings for a more open display effect. Both options help protect your premises while keeping products, signage, and interiors visible after hours.
Trusted by Retailers and Commercial Businesses Across London
For spaces where heat loss, noise control, or weather protection matter more, insulated roller shutters may be a better option. For larger commercial sites, industrial roller shutters may be more suitable.
These shutters are commonly installed on retail shopfronts where customers should still see the display after hours, as well as shopping centres, arcades, kiosks, and concessions that need a quick, tidy close-down. We supply several configurations to match different security, visibility, airflow, and landlord requirements.
Perforated shutters work well for high-street locations, shopping arcades, and car parks where you want a secure barrier without a completely solid appearance. They are often paired with aluminium shopfronts for modern retail units and showrooms.
Lots of smaller holes across the slat
Good visibility into displays
Great airflow and light transmission
A cleaner look for retail and internal mall shutters
Punched roller shutters are ideal for fashion stores, showrooms, salons, and branded retail units that want to stay visible after closing hours. They also work well with toughened glass shopfronts where visibility and after-hours protection both matter.
Larger punched openings
A more open look than perforated shutters
Stronger display visibility and brightness
Optional clear inserts for extra weather protection
You don’t have to choose one style only. We can design shutters that combine:

Perforated or punched panels at eye level
Branding colours to match your fascia or shopfront
