How much do blinds & shutters cost in Adelaide?
What you pay for blinds and shutters in Adelaide depends on the product and how it is priced - by the window, by the square metre or by the blind. Supplied and installed, a custom roller blind is $150–$350 per window (typically $220), a fully fitted plantation shutter on a standard window $450–$750, and a manual external roller shutter $400–$850 per window.
Adelaide's homes decide the mix. Bluestone and sandstone villas in Norwood, Unley and North Adelaide have tall front windows that suit plantation shutters or timber venetians; brick homes in Modbury, Marion and Mawson Lakes tend to want rollers throughout; and houses facing the afternoon sun often add an external roller shutter or a verandah blind. These are national bands: the sources do not support separate Adelaide prices.

Prices do not change from suburb to suburb in Adelaide; the windows, the sun and the outdoor space do, and they move a job from one row to another.
- Eastern and inner-south villas - Stone villas and cottages in Norwood, Kensington, Unley and Parkside have tall double-hung windows and street-facing bays, where plantation shutters at $450–$750 per standard window or a Roman blind at $250–$500 are common picks.
- Northern suburbs family homes - Brick homes in Modbury, Golden Grove and Salisbury carry a window in every bedroom, so the count drives the quote; light-filtering or blockout rollers at $150–$350 per window are the usual fit-out.
- Beachside suburbs - Homes in Glenelg, Henley Beach and Brighton look at a manual zip blind at $300–$450 per square metre to shelter a front deck or balcony, and ask about fixings that suit sea air.
- Adelaide Hills - In Stirling, Aldgate and Mount Barker, cooler nights make honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 and made-to-measure curtains at $300–$600 per window a common choice for living rooms.
What Adelaide Blinds & Shutters Jobs Actually Cost
Three Adelaide jobs worked through this page's rows. Each names the row it uses; a quote for your home prices your own windows.
Unley villa, front bay
A three-panel bay window at the front of a stone villa, too large for the standard-window row, priced by area for plantation shutters at $300–$800 per square metre, typically $350.
Golden Grove bedrooms and lounge
Blockout roller blinds in three bedrooms at $150–$350 per window, and a double day/night roller in the lounge at $180–$400 so the room can be dimmed or opened up from one bracket.
West-facing bedroom in Marion
One bedroom window that takes the full afternoon sun, fitted with a manual external roller shutter at $400–$850 per window, typically $600.
Internal Blinds and Curtains: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Adelaide by Type
Inside the house the price follows the blind type. A custom roller blind is $150–$350 per window and an aluminium or PVC venetian $150–$350; a vertical blind is $150–$350. A timber venetian with a 50 mm slat runs $300–$600, a honeycomb (cellular) blind $200–$450, a double day/night roller $180–$400 and a custom Roman blind $250–$500, typically $420.
Inside an Adelaide villa, the high ceilings and tall windows lean towards timber venetians at $300–$600 or Roman blinds at $250–$500, while the bedrooms of a newer home are usually a run of rollers or aluminium venetians at $150–$350.
For a sunroom or a lounge with a wide window, honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 add an insulating layer of air, and S-fold sheers at $400–$1,200 soften a large opening while still letting light in.
Curtains sit beside blinds rather than inside them: made-to-measure curtains are $300–$600 per window and S-fold sheers $400–$1,200. Motorising an internal blind adds $150–$350 per blind for a battery or retrofit motor.
Plantation and Roller Shutters: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Adelaide
Plantation shutters in PVC or basswood are priced two ways: $300–$800 per square metre installed, or $450–$750 per window for a standard window of about 1200 x 1200 mm, fully fitted. External window roller shutters are a different product - an aluminium curtain that rolls down outside the glass - at $400–$850 per window with a manual winder and $700–$1,200 with a motor.
Plantation shutters are a natural fit for the stone and brick villas of the eastern and inner-southern suburbs, where tilting the louvres keeps privacy from the street without losing light. Bay windows and tall front windows are usually priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre; windows close to the standard size use the per-window row at $450–$750.
External roller shutters suit west-facing bedrooms and homes left empty for long stretches. A manual shutter is $400–$850 per window and a motorised one $700–$1,200; if an existing shutter sticks or its strap breaks, a service call with a minor fix is $120–$250.
Outdoor Blinds, Motorisation and Repairs: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Adelaide
Outdoor blinds are priced by type: a manual track-guided (zip) blind is $300–$450 per square metre and a motorised straight-drop outdoor roller blind $1,200–$2,500 per blind with the motor. Clear PVC cafe blinds are quoted per blind by size; no current source states a typical figure, so they are not a row here. Repairs are their own rows: a blind restring, chain or clutch repair is $110–$218 per job and a roller shutter service call with a minor fix $120–$250. Fitting a blind you bought yourself is $40–$150 per window.
Outdoor blinds turn a verandah or pergola into a room for more of the year. A manual zip blind runs in side channels and is priced by area at $300–$450 per square metre; a motorised straight-drop blind is $1,200–$2,500 per blind; and a clear PVC cafe blind, quoted by size, keeps the view.
On a hot, dry northerly day an outdoor blind takes a lot of sun and dust, so ask how the fabric is cleaned and what the warranty covers. Close to the beach at Glenelg or Semaphore, ask what the channels and brackets are made of.
What Affects Blinds & Shutters Costs in Adelaide
An Adelaide quote moves with the product, the size of each window, and whether a motor or an outdoor fitting is added; the suburb itself does not move the price.
Which product
A roller blind at $150–$350 and a fully fitted plantation shutter at $450–$750 are both priced per window, yet they sit well apart, so the product is the first decision.
Tall and bay windows
Villa windows that run close to the ceiling, and front bays, push a per-window price towards the top of its band or onto the per-square-metre row at $300–$800.
Afternoon sun
A west-facing window may need blockout fabric, a honeycomb blind at $200–$450 or an external roller shutter at $400–$850, each a different row.
Motors
A battery or retrofit motor adds $150–$350 per internal blind; motorised external roller shutters are $700–$1,200 per window.
Slat and fabric choice
Timber venetians at $300–$600 sit above aluminium or PVC at $150–$350, and the fabric you pick moves a roller blind within its band.
Old fittings
Taking down old blinds, curtain tracks or pelmets in an older home is extra labour; ask for it as its own line so quotes compare evenly.
How to Save Money on Blinds & Shutters Cost in Adelaide
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Adelaide by Job Size
A small job is a single room or a repair: one bedroom roller at $150–$350, or a restring at $110–$218. Fitting out a whole villa repeats those rows across every window, so the quote should show a line per window rather than one figure for the house.
Shutters and outdoor blinds are sized by area as much as by count: an oversized bay is $300–$800 per square metre in plantation shutters, and closing in a verandah with zip blinds is priced on the area of the opening at $300–$450 per square metre.
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Adelaide: What the Quote Should Include
Adelaide quotes compare cleanly when each one lists the windows with their sizes, names the product and fabric or slat, and shows any motor, removal of old fittings and outdoor work as separate lines.
- Each window listed with its width and drop, and the product priced against our rows - for example a custom roller blind at $150–$350 per window or plantation shutters at $450–$750 per standard window
- Whether the blind is inside-mounted or face-fitted, and who takes the measurements (the installer's own measure keeps the fit on them)
- The fabric, slat or panel material named - blockout or light-filtering fabric, aluminium or timber slats, PVC or basswood shutters
- Any motor priced as its own line: an internal blind motor is $150–$350 per blind on our table, and a motorised external roller shutter $700–$1,200 per window
- For outdoor blinds, the area in square metres for a zip blind at $300–$450 per square metre, or the width and drop for any other outdoor blind
- Removal and disposal of old blinds or curtains as its own line, so two quotes compare like for like
- For corded blinds, confirmation that the installation meets the corded window covering safety standard, with the installer's label attached
- The warranty on the product and on the installation, stated separately, and the lead time from measure to fit
- A single GST basis across every line, the installer's ABN and public liability insurance
