Shutter Cost Calculator

Our instant shutter cost calculator provides estimates to help you plan your plantation shutter project. By entering your window measurements and selecting your preferred material and installation method, you can get an idea of the potential cost before purchase.

How to use the shutter cost calculator

Enter the width and height of your first window, then select your preferred shutter material and installation method. If you are planning shutters for several windows, use the option to add more windows so that you can estimate the cost of your project as a whole.

Once you have entered your measurements and selected your options, the calculator will display an estimated price range based on the information provided.

For the most useful result, enter the measurements for every window you want to cover. Remember that the calculator is intended for estimating purposes; the measurements and specifications required when ordering shutters may differ depending on the supplier and fitting method.

Understanding your estimated shutter cost

The calculator displays a price range rather than a single fixed figure, giving you an initial indication of the potential cost based on your selected material, installation method and window sizes.

The estimate uses indicative rates per square metre and calculates the price using the actual measured area of your windows.

The result is intended as a guide for budgeting and comparing options, rather than a quotation or prediction of the exact amount you will pay. Actual prices may vary depending on the supplier, shutter specification, surveying requirements and installation costs.

What affects the final price of plantation shutters?

The overall cost of plantation shutters depends on several factors. While window size, material and installation are included in the calculator, other aspects of your chosen product and project can also influence the final price.

Window size and configuration

Larger windows generally require more material, which can increase the overall cost. The number of windows and the shape of each opening can also affect pricing, particularly where bay windows, unusually shaped openings or more complex installations are involved.

Shutter material and specification

Different materials have different price points and characteristics. The calculator includes Hardwood, MDF and composite options to help you compare costs.

The final price may also depend on the shutter design, louvre size, frame specification, colour, finish and other product features. The most suitable choice will depend on the look you want to achieve, your budget and the requirements of your windows.

DIY or professional supply and fitting

DIY supply only shutters can be a good option if you’re comfortable measuring, preparing and fitting your own window coverings. Professional supply and fitting offers a more complete service, which may include measuring, design and installation.

The exact services included will vary between suppliers, so it’s worth checking what’s covered when comparing quotations.

Why shutter prices vary between suppliers

Plantation shutter prices can vary considerably between companies, even when the window dimensions and general specifications are similar. Suppliers may offer different product ranges, materials, finishes and service levels, alongside different pricing structures.

Promotions and seasonal sales can also influence the price you pay. A discounted product may offer good value, but it is important to compare like for like specifications and check whether measuring, delivery and installation are included.

For this reason, the calculator should be treated as a starting point rather than a definitive guide to what every supplier will charge. Comparing quotations can help you understand the options available and decide which best suits your home and budget.

Before ordering your shutters

Accurate measurements and the correct product specification are important when ordering plantation shutters. The measurements used for this calculator provide an estimate of the required window area, but they should not automatically be used as your final ordering measurements.

Measuring requirements can vary depending on the shutter design and whether the shutters will be fitted inside the window recess or onto the surrounding wall or frame. Follow your chosen supplier’s measuring instructions, and seek advice if you are unsure, particularly for bay windows or unusual openings.

Before committing to an order, request a detailed quotation and check what is included in the price, from the shutter specification and measuring service to delivery and installation where applicable.
