How much do blinds & shutters cost in Central Coast?
Central Coast blinds and shutters are priced per window, per square metre or per blind, by product. From this page's rows: a custom roller blind supplied and installed is $150–$350 per window, typically $220; a standard window fitted with plantation shutters $450–$750; and a manual external roller shutter $400–$850 per window.
The housing changes along the coast. Fibro and weatherboard beach cottages on the Woy Woy Peninsula and around The Entrance sit beside renovated homes with big decks in Terrigal, Avoca Beach and Wamberal; newer brick homes in Hamlyn Terrace, Woongarrah and Lake Haven have open-plan living; and lakeside homes on Tuggerah Lake catch the wind off the water. These are national bands: the sources do not support separate Central Coast prices.

What Central Coast Blinds & Shutters Jobs Actually Cost
Three Central Coast jobs set against this page's rows. Each line names its row; your quote prices your own windows.
Avoca Beach deck
A deck with an ocean view closed in on the windward side with a motorised straight-drop outdoor blind at $1,200–$2,500 per blind, typically $1,600.
Hamlyn Terrace bedrooms
Four bedroom windows in blockout rollers at $150–$350 per window, typically $220, with a vertical blind on the sliding door at $150–$350.
Umina Beach cottage
Two front windows in timber venetians at $300–$600 per window, typically $350, to suit an older weatherboard home.
Internal Blinds and Curtains: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Central Coast 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 Central Coast family home, bedrooms usually get blockout rollers and the living areas light-filtering fabric or double day/night rollers at $180–$400. Roman blinds at $250–$500 give a softer finish in a main bedroom or a renovated cottage.
Older beach cottages with sash or awning windows suit timber venetians at $300–$600, while vertical blinds at $150–$350 cover wide sliding doors to a deck. Near the water, aluminium or PVC venetians at $150–$350 are easy to wipe down.
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 Central Coast
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 a renovated Central Coast cottage or the street-facing rooms of a brick home, giving privacy from the road while keeping the light. A standard window is $450–$750 fully fitted, and tall doors or bay windows are priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre.
External roller shutters are a security and heat choice for a west-facing room or a holiday house left empty between visits. A manual shutter is $400–$850 per window, motorised $700–$1,200, and a service call with a minor fix $120–$250.
Outdoor Blinds, Motorisation and Repairs: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Central Coast
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.
Decks and verandahs are well used on the Central Coast, and outdoor blinds keep them comfortable when a southerly or a sea breeze picks up. A manual zip blind is $300–$450 per square metre, a motorised straight-drop blind $1,200–$2,500 per blind, and clear PVC cafe blinds are quoted by size.
Close to the beach or the lake, salt and moisture work on metal fittings, so ask what the brackets, channels and fixings are made of. On a high deck, ask how the blind should be secured in strong wind.
What Affects Blinds & Shutters Costs in Central Coast
A Central Coast quote follows the product, the size and number of windows, and any motor or outdoor work, not the suburb.
Product
Rollers at $150–$350 and fully fitted plantation shutters at $450–$750 are both per-window rows, but far apart, so the product decides most of the quote.
Window type
Sash, awning and bay windows in older cottages can take more fitting time, pushing a per-window price up its band.
Deck size
Zip blinds are priced on the area of the opening at $300–$450 per square metre, so a long deck sets the quote.
Motors
A battery or retrofit motor is $150–$350 per internal blind; a motorised outdoor blind is $1,200–$2,500 per blind.
Coastal fittings
Fixings and channels made for salt air can move a quote within its band; ask for the material on the quote.
Access
Hillside homes in Terrigal or Kincumber with upper-level windows and high decks take more time to measure and fit, which pushes a quote towards the top of each band.
How to Save Money on Blinds & Shutters Cost in Central Coast
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Central Coast by Job Size
A small job is a single room or a repair - a bedroom roller at $150–$350, or a restring at $110–$218. A whole house is the same rows at every window, so ask for each room as a separate line rather than one figure.
Decks and large openings are priced by size: zip blinds use the area of the opening at $300–$450 per square metre, and oversized plantation shutters $300–$800 per square metre.
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Central Coast: What the Quote Should Include
Central Coast quotes compare cleanly when each lists every window and door with its size, names the product and material, and shows motors, removal and outdoor fittings 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
