Because every shutter we make is measured and built to fit your exact windows, there’s no single “off the shelf” price — the cost of window shutters depends on your home. Below we explain exactly what shapes the price, so you know what to expect before you book a free, no-obligation quote.
What affects the cost of window shutters?
Five main factors determine the price of a made-to-measure shutter installation.
1. Window size and how many you’re fitting
Larger windows use more material, and the more windows you shutter, the bigger the overall project. Many customers start with one or two rooms and add more over time — we’re happy to quote room by room.
2. The material you choose
Material is one of the biggest influences on price. As a general guide: our faux wood shutters are the most cost-effective choice, paulownia sits in the middle as a lightweight natural timber, and premium hardwoods such as Ashwood are at the top end for a rich, natural finish. Alu Core PV is our specialist waterproof option for bathrooms and other high-moisture rooms.
3. The style and configuration
Simple full-height shutters are the most straightforward to make. More intricate configurations — tier-on-tier (which open independently top and bottom), café-style, and shaped or bay window shutters — involve more panels, hinges and precise fitting, so they sit higher up the range.
4. Finish and features
Your choice of colour, stain, louvre size, hidden tilt rods and hardware all play a part in the final specification and price.
5. Survey and professional installation
Every quote includes a proper home survey and expert fitting by our own installers — no flat-pack, no guesswork. Precise measuring and fitting is what makes the difference between shutters that look good and shutters that look built-in.
Are window shutters worth the cost?
Shutters are a long-term fixture, not a soft furnishing you replace every few years. Made-to-measure plantation shutters add insulation, light and privacy control, and kerb appeal — and, fitted well, they can genuinely enhance the value and feel of a home. For most of our customers, that longevity is exactly why shutters work out to be excellent value.

Frequently asked questions
Do shutters cost more than blinds?
Shutters are typically a bigger investment than standard blinds, but they last far longer and are a permanent, made-to-measure fixture rather than a replaceable furnishing. Many customers see them as better long-term value. See our guide comparing shutters vs blinds.
Are bay window shutters more expensive?
Bay and shaped windows need more panels and precise angled fitting, so they generally sit higher up the range than a standard flat window of the same size. Our bay window shutters page explains the options.
What’s the most cost-effective shutter material?
Faux wood is usually our most affordable option and is hard-wearing and moisture-resistant, which makes it a popular all-rounder. Natural hardwoods sit at the premium end.
