Plantation shutters are made to measure for each window, so the price depends on how many windows you're doing, how big they are, their shape, how the panels open (hinged, bi-fold or sliding) and the frame and installation. The accurate way to price them is a free measure and quote. Doing several windows at once is usually the best value, especially when there's a shutter deal on.
Plantation shutters are one of those upgrades people notice the moment they walk into a room. They're also made to measure, which is why you won't find one flat price for them. Here's what changes the cost.
What affects the price
How many windows. Shutters are made window by window, so the total depends on how many you're doing.
The size of each window. Bigger windows need more panels and more louvres.
The shape. Standard rectangles are the simplest. Very tall, very wide or unusual shapes take more work.
How the panels open. Hinged panels suit most windows. Bi-fold and sliding panels suit wide openings and sliding doors.
Frames and installation. Each set of shutters is fitted to the window with a frame, and some windows need a little more work to get a neat fit.
Material. Shutters come in different materials, and some suit particular rooms better than others. We'll show you what suits each room at the measure.
Why people choose shutters
- Light exactly how you like it. Tilt the louvres for a soft light, or close them right up.
- Privacy without the dark. Angle the louvres so you can see out but the street can't see in.
- Low maintenance. A quick wipe and they're done. No fabric to wash or fade.
- They last. Shutters are built to last for years and lift the look of a home.
Getting the most from your budget
- Do the rooms you live in. Living areas, the main bedroom and bathrooms make the most difference.
- Mix it up. Shutters in the main rooms, and roller blinds or S-Fold curtains in the rest.
- Watch for deals. We run shutter deals from time to time, and they're usually better the more windows you do. See what's on now.

Common questions
Are plantation shutters worth it?
For rooms you use every day, many people think so. Shutters give you adjustable light and privacy, are low maintenance and are built to last. In rooms you rarely use, blinds can be the better value.
Are your plantation shutters made in Australia?
Yes. Our plantation shutters are Australian made and built to suit each window.
Do I need to measure my windows for a quote?
No. We measure every window ourselves at the free measure and quote, so your shutters fit properly.
