How much do blinds & shutters cost in Gold Coast?
On the Gold Coast, blinds and shutters are quoted per window, per square metre or per blind, depending on the product. Supplied and installed, a custom roller blind is $150–$350 per window with a typical figure of $220; plantation shutters on a standard window are $450–$750 fully fitted; and a manual external roller shutter is $400–$850 per window.
The coast's housing is varied. High-rise units in Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Main Beach have floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies; canal homes in Broadbeach Waters, Sorrento and Isle of Capri have wide sliding doors onto the water; renovated beach houses in Burleigh Heads and Palm Beach suit a relaxed coastal look; and new estates in Coomera, Pimpama and Upper Coomera start with bare windows. These are national bands: the sources do not support separate Gold Coast 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 Gold Coast shows the national bands.

What Gold Coast Blinds & Shutters Jobs Actually Cost
Three Gold Coast jobs worked from this page's rows. Each names its row; your quote prices your own openings.
Broadbeach unit, sliding door
A wide sliding door to the balcony in a vertical blind at $150–$350, typically $220, with a clear PVC cafe blind outside quoted by size once the body corporate has approved it.
Palm Beach renovation, front rooms
Three front windows in plantation shutters, each priced as a standard window at $450–$750 fully fitted, typically $650.
Pimpama new build
Bedroom windows fitted with blockout rollers at $150–$350 per window, typically $220, and the alfresco closed in with a zip blind at $300–$450 per square metre.
Internal Blinds and Curtains: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Gold 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.
Gold Coast living areas often take double day/night rollers at $180–$400 or S-fold sheers at $400–$1,200 to soften strong light without losing the view, while bedrooms get blockout rollers.
Vertical blinds at $150–$350 cover wide sliding doors, and aluminium or PVC venetians at $150–$350 suit bathrooms and laundries. Honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 add an insulating layer to a west-facing room.
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 Gold 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 give a renovated beach house or a canal home a clean coastal finish, and the louvres can be tilted against glare off the water. Standard windows are $450–$750 each, fully fitted; tall doors and wide openings are priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre. Ask whether PVC or basswood suits a salty site.
External roller shutters suit a west-facing bedroom or a holiday home left empty for weeks at a time. A manual shutter is $400–$850 per window and a motorised one $700–$1,200; a service call with a minor fix is $120–$250.
Outdoor Blinds, Motorisation and Repairs: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Gold 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.
Patios, alfresco areas and balconies are used all year on the Gold Coast, and outdoor blinds keep sun, wind and rain out. A manual zip blind is $300–$450 per square metre and a motorised straight-drop blind $1,200–$2,500 per blind; a clear PVC cafe blind is quoted by size.
Near the beach or the canals, salt air works on metal, so ask what the channels, brackets and fixings are made of. Summer storms can arrive quickly; ask how each outdoor blind should be raised or secured, and check with the body corporate before anything is fixed to a balcony.
What Affects Blinds & Shutters Costs in Gold Coast
A Gold Coast quote is set by the product, the size and number of openings, and any motor or outdoor work; the suburb does not change the price.
Product
Rollers at $150–$350 and fully fitted plantation shutters at $450–$750 are both per-window rows that sit far apart, so the product comes first.
Tall windows and sliders
Floor-to-ceiling windows in a high-rise unit and wide sliding doors on a canal home push a per-window price up its band.
Outdoor openings
Zip blinds are priced on the area of the opening at $300–$450 per square metre, so a big patio sets the quote.
Motors
A battery or retrofit motor adds $150–$350 per internal blind; a motorised outdoor blind is $1,200–$2,500 per blind.
Salt air
Fittings made for a coastal site can move a quote within its band; ask for the material on the quote.
High-rise access
Balcony work several floors up, and the building's access rules, take more time, which pushes a quote towards the top of each band.
How to Save Money on Blinds & Shutters Cost in Gold Coast
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Gold Coast 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. A whole home repeats the same rows at every window, so ask for a line per room rather than one figure.
Outdoor work scales with size: a patio closed in with zip blinds is priced on the opening at $300–$450 per square metre, and oversized plantation shutters are $300–$800 per square metre.
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Gold Coast: What the Quote Should Include
Gold Coast quotes are easiest to compare when each lists every window and opening with its size, names the product and material, and shows motors, removal and outdoor fittings on their own 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
