How much do blinds & shutters cost in Brisbane?
Blinds and shutters in Brisbane are quoted three ways - per window, per square metre or per blind - and the product decides which. Supplied and installed, a custom roller blind runs $150–$350 per window with a typical figure of $220, plantation shutters fully fitted to a standard window $450–$750, and a manual external roller shutter $400–$850 per window.
Brisbane's houses set the shopping list. A timber Queenslander in Paddington, Red Hill or Wilston has casement and sash windows opening onto wide verandahs; a newer home in North Lakes or Springfield Lakes has big sliding doors to an alfresco area; and a unit in Newstead or South Brisbane needs blinds that sit neatly in the reveal. All figures are national bands: the sources do not support separate Brisbane prices.

Prices are as published by blind and shutter suppliers, installers and cost guides, fetched in November 2026. Most of those sources do not state a GST basis; the fully fitted plantation shutter figures include GST. Every band rests on at least two independent sources. The sources do not support separate city prices, so Brisbane shows the national bands.

The rows apply right across Brisbane; what differs between suburbs is the house, the sun and how much living happens outdoors.
- Inner-north and inner-west Queenslanders - In Paddington, Red Hill, Ashgrove and Wilston, timber homes with verandahs often pair plantation shutters at $450–$750 per window inside with an outdoor blind on the verandah.
- Riverside apartments - Units in Newstead, Teneriffe, South Brisbane and Kangaroo Point often use vertical blinds at $150–$350 on sliding doors and a clear cafe blind, quoted by size, on the balcony.
- Growth-corridor estates - New homes in North Lakes, Springfield Lakes and Fitzgibbon have wide alfresco openings where a zip blind at $300–$450 per square metre is a common add-on.
- Bayside - In Wynnum, Manly and Sandgate, homes facing Moreton Bay ask about fixings that cope with sea air, whether for a roller shutter at $400–$850 per window or an outdoor blind.
What Brisbane Blinds & Shutters Jobs Actually Cost
Three Brisbane jobs set against this page's rows. Each names the row it uses; your quote will price your own windows and openings.
Wilston Queenslander, front rooms
Two casement windows facing the street in plantation shutters, each priced as a standard window at $450–$750 fully fitted, typically $650.
North Lakes alfresco
The open side of an alfresco area closed in with a manual zip blind, priced on the area of the opening at $300–$450 per square metre, typically $350.
Teneriffe apartment
A wide sliding door to the balcony in a vertical blind at $150–$350, typically $220, with blockout rollers in the two bedrooms at $150–$350 per window.
Internal Blinds and Curtains: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Brisbane 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.
In a Brisbane Queenslander, high ceilings and timber walls suit timber venetians at $300–$600 or Roman blinds at $250–$500; bedrooms that need to stay dark on summer mornings usually get blockout rollers.
Newer homes with open-plan living often use double day/night rollers at $180–$400 across the main windows, so a sheer and a blockout share one bracket, with aluminium or PVC venetians at $150–$350 in bathrooms and laundries.
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 Brisbane
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 suit the casement and sash windows of an older Brisbane home and the street-facing rooms of a renovated cottage. Windows near the 1200 x 1200 mm standard use the per-window row at $450–$750; French doors and tall openings are priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre.
External roller shutters are bought for heat, privacy and security rather than looks, often on a west-facing bedroom or a ground-floor window. Manual is $400–$850 per window and motorised $700–$1,200; a service call for a jammed shutter is $120–$250.
Outdoor Blinds, Motorisation and Repairs: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Brisbane
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.
Brisbane's verandahs, decks and alfresco areas are where outdoor blinds earn their keep. A manual zip blind is priced by area at $300–$450 per square metre and holds its line in the side channels; a motorised straight-drop blind is $1,200–$2,500 per blind; and a clear PVC cafe blind is quoted by size.
Summer storms bring sudden wind and driving rain, so ask how each outdoor blind should be raised or locked down, and what the warranty says about storm damage. In a unit, check with the body corporate before ordering anything fixed to the balcony.
What Affects Blinds & Shutters Costs in Brisbane
For a Brisbane quote, the product, the size and number of openings, and any motor or outdoor work set the price; moving suburbs does not.
Product choice
Rollers at $150–$350 and fully fitted plantation shutters at $450–$750 are both per-window rows but far apart, so start with what each room needs.
Casement, French and sliding doors
Tall doors and wide sliders take more fabric or more shutter panels, pushing a quote up its band or onto the area row at $300–$800 per square metre.
Outdoor openings
A verandah or alfresco closed in with zip blinds is priced on its area at $300–$450 per square metre, so the size of the opening matters more than the number of blinds.
Motorisation
A battery or retrofit motor is $150–$350 per internal blind, and a motorised roller shutter $700–$1,200 against $400–$850 manual.
High-set homes
A raised Queenslander or a two-storey house means longer ladders and more time on the upper windows, which pushes a quote towards the top of each band.
Fabric and finish
Blockout against light-filtering fabric, and timber at $300–$600 against aluminium or PVC venetians at $150–$350, move a quote within and between rows.
How to Save Money on Blinds & Shutters Cost in Brisbane
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Brisbane by Job Size
A small job is a room or a fix - a roller for one bedroom at $150–$350, or a chain or clutch repair at $110–$218. A whole Queenslander repeats the same rows window by window, so ask for each room to be shown as its own line.
Outdoor blinds and large shutters are priced by size: closing in a deck with zip blinds uses the opening's area at $300–$450 per square metre, and oversized shutter panels run $300–$800 per square metre.
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Brisbane: What the Quote Should Include
Brisbane quotes are easiest to line up when each lists every window and opening with its size, names the product and material, and keeps motors, removal and outdoor work on 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
