How much do blinds & shutters cost in Geelong?
Geelong prices for blinds and shutters come per window, per square metre or per blind, depending on the product. A custom roller blind supplied and installed is $150–$350 per window (typically $220); plantation shutters fully fitted to a standard window are $450–$750; and a manual external roller shutter is $400–$850 per window.
The housing varies from the bay to the new estates. Weatherboards and Californian bungalows in Geelong West, Newtown and Hamlyn Heights have tall front windows; brick homes in Belmont, Highton and Grovedale are a steady run of bedrooms; new builds in Armstrong Creek, Mount Duneed and Lara have big open-plan windows; and Bellarine beach houses in Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads catch the salt air. These are national bands: the sources do not support separate Geelong 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 Geelong shows the national bands.

What Geelong Blinds & Shutters Jobs Actually Cost
Three Geelong jobs worked from this page's rows. Each line names its row; your own quote prices your windows.
Geelong West bungalow, front room
A wide front window in plantation shutters, too large for the standard-window row, priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre, typically $350.
Armstrong Creek alfresco
An alfresco opening closed in with a manual zip blind at $300–$450 per square metre of opening, typically $350.
Highton living room
Two living-room windows in honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 per window, typically $250, with sheer S-fold curtains on the sliding door at $400–$1,200.
Internal Blinds and Curtains: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Geelong 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.
Geelong winters make an insulating layer worth pricing: honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 trap air against the window, and made-to-measure curtains at $300–$600 per window can be drawn on a cold night. Bedrooms usually get blockout rollers.
In a period weatherboard or bungalow, timber venetians at $300–$600 and Roman blinds at $250–$500 suit the style, while aluminium or PVC venetians at $150–$350 work in a bathroom or laundry.
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 Geelong
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 street-facing rooms of a Geelong weatherboard or bungalow, keeping privacy without losing light. Standard windows are $450–$750 each fully fitted, and bay or extra-wide windows are priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre.
External roller shutters suit a west-facing bedroom or a holiday house on the Bellarine that sits 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 Geelong
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 help a Geelong deck or alfresco area cope with wind off the bay and the cooler months. 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.
On the Bellarine and the waterfront, ask what the channels and brackets are made of, because salt air is hard on metal. On an exposed deck, ask how the blind should be secured or raised in a strong wind.
What Affects Blinds & Shutters Costs in Geelong
A Geelong quote follows the product, the size and number of windows, and any motor or outdoor work; the suburb does not change the price.
Product
A roller at $150–$350 and a fully fitted plantation shutter at $450–$750 are both per-window rows, far apart, so the product sets most of the quote.
Period windows
Tall front windows and bays in older weatherboards push a per-window price up its band, or onto the area row at $300–$800 per square metre.
Insulating products
Honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 and curtains at $300–$600 are their own rows, so decide which rooms need them.
Motors
A battery or retrofit motor adds $150–$350 per internal blind; a motorised roller shutter is $700–$1,200 per window.
Outdoor exposure
A zip blind on an exposed deck at $300–$450 per square metre is a bigger job than a blind under a sheltered pergola, so say how exposed the site is when you ask for quotes.
Removing old fittings
Old pelmets, tracks and blinds in an older home take time to remove; ask for that as its own line.
How to Save Money on Blinds & Shutters Cost in Geelong
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Geelong by Job Size
A small job is one room or a repair - a bedroom roller at $150–$350 or a restring at $110–$218. A whole-house fit-out is the same rows across every window, so ask for each room on its own line.
Shutters and outdoor blinds scale with area: oversized plantation shutters are $300–$800 per square metre, and closing in an alfresco area with zip blinds uses the opening's area at $300–$450 per square metre.
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Geelong: What the Quote Should Include
Geelong quotes compare best when each one lists the windows with their sizes, names the product and fabric, 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
