Perforated Roller Shutter Door FAQ

A perforated roller shutter door is a steel or aluminium roller door whose slats are punched with a pattern of small holes. When closed it secures the opening like a normal roller shutter, but the perforations let light, air and visibility through, so shops can display stock after hours and warehouses stay ventilated.

Yes. We supply and install perforated roller shutter doors throughout Gauteng, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Sandton, the East Rand, West Rand and the Vaal, as well as surrounding areas such as Hartbeespoort, Brits, Rustenburg, eMalahleni and Sasolburg.

For most applications, yes. The perforations are small, and the door uses the same steel or aluminium slats, guide channels and locking system as a solid door. For high-risk sites we can specify heavier gauge slats, a reinforced bottom rail, central or floor locks and motorisation with battery backup.

Yes. Almost any perforated roller shutter can be fitted with an electric motor, remote controls, wall switches and safety features. Existing manual doors can usually be converted to motorised operation as well.

The approximate width and height of the opening, where the door will be installed, whether you want manual or motorised operation, your preferred finish, and photos of the opening if possible. Our online quote form lets you upload photos.

The roller shutter barrel and hood need space above or in front of the opening and a solid surface to fix to. We check this during the site measure and can supply steel framing where needed.

Yes. Slats, guides, bottom rails and hood covers can be powder-coated in a range of colours.

Small insects can pass through perforations. If this is a concern, a fly screen can be fitted behind the opening, or micro-perforated slats can be used.
