How much do blinds & shutters cost in Sunshine Coast?
Sunshine Coast quotes for blinds and shutters are per window, per square metre or per blind, by product. Supplied and installed, a custom roller blind is $150–$350 per window, typically $220; plantation shutters fully fitted to a standard window $450–$750; and a manual external roller shutter $400–$850 per window.
The housing changes from beach to hinterland. Units in Mooloolaba, Maroochydore and Kings Beach face the ocean with big sliding doors; canal homes in Pelican Waters and Minyama open onto the water; new estates in Baringa, Palmview and Sippy Downs have open-plan living and alfresco areas; and hinterland homes in Maleny and Montville have wide verandahs and views. These are national bands: the sources do not support separate Sunshine 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 Sunshine Coast shows the national bands.

What Sunshine Coast Blinds & Shutters Jobs Actually Cost
Three Sunshine Coast jobs set against this page's rows. Each line names its row; your quote prices your own openings.
Mooloolaba unit, balcony
A balcony closed in with a motorised straight-drop outdoor blind at $1,200–$2,500 per blind, typically $1,600, after body corporate approval.
Sippy Downs alfresco
The open side of an alfresco closed in with a manual zip blind at $300–$450 per square metre of opening, typically $350.
Maleny living room
Two large living-room windows in honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 per window, typically $250, for cooler hinterland evenings.
Internal Blinds and Curtains: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Sunshine 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.
Sunshine Coast living areas often use light-filtering rollers or S-fold sheers at $400–$1,200 to soften strong light without losing the view, while bedrooms get blockout rollers or double day/night rollers at $180–$400.
Aluminium or PVC venetians at $150–$350 suit bathrooms and humid rooms, vertical blinds at $150–$350 cover sliding doors, and timber venetians at $300–$600 or Roman blinds at $250–$500 give a hinterland home a warmer look.
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 Sunshine 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 beach house or canal home where the louvres can be angled 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 coastal site.
External roller shutters suit a west-facing bedroom or a holiday unit that sits empty between stays. 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 Sunshine 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 and balconies are used all year on the Sunshine Coast, and outdoor blinds keep them comfortable in sun, wind and rain. 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, ask what the brackets, channels and fixings are made of, because salt air is hard on metal. Summer storms can arrive fast, so ask how each blind should be raised or secured.
What Affects Blinds & Shutters Costs in Sunshine Coast
A Sunshine Coast quote is set by the product, the size and number of openings, and any motor or outdoor work, not by the suburb.
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.
Sliding doors
Wide doors to a balcony or the water take more fabric and longer tracks, pushing a per-window price up its band.
Outdoor openings
Zip blinds are priced on area at $300–$450 per square metre, so a large 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.
Coastal fittings
Fittings made for salt air can move a quote within its band; ask for the material to be named.
Hinterland access
Raked ceilings and high windows in hinterland homes take longer to measure and fit, which moves a quote towards the top of each band.
How to Save Money on Blinds & Shutters Cost in Sunshine Coast
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Sunshine Coast by Job Size
A small job is one room or one repair: a bedroom roller at $150–$350, or a restring at $110–$218. A whole home repeats those rows at each window, so ask for each room as its own line.
Outdoor blinds and oversized shutters are priced by size: a patio closed in with zip blinds uses the opening at $300–$450 per square metre, and large plantation shutter panels are $300–$800 per square metre.
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Sunshine Coast: What the Quote Should Include
Sunshine Coast quotes compare best when each lists every opening with its size, names the product and material, and shows motors, removal and outdoor fittings separately.
- 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
