How much do blinds & shutters cost in Wollongong?
Wollongong quotes for blinds and shutters come per window, per square metre or per blind, depending on the product. On this page's rows a custom roller blind supplied and installed 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 Illawarra's housing runs from the escarpment to the sea. Miners' cottages and weatherboards in Thirroul, Austinmer and Bulli sit close to the beach; brick family homes in Figtree, Keiraville and Dapto are a steady run of bedrooms; apartments in the city centre and North Wollongong face the ocean; and new homes in Horsley and the West Dapto area have open-plan living and alfresco areas. These are national bands: the sources do not support separate Wollongong prices.

What Wollongong Blinds & Shutters Jobs Actually Cost
Three Wollongong jobs set against this page's rows. Each names its row; your quote prices your own windows.
Austinmer cottage deck
A beachside deck closed in on the southerly side with a motorised straight-drop outdoor blind at $1,200–$2,500 per blind, typically $1,600.
Figtree street front
Two front windows in plantation shutters, each priced as a standard window at $450–$750 fully fitted, typically $650.
Horsley alfresco
An alfresco opening closed in with a manual zip blind at $300–$450 per square metre of opening, typically $350.
Internal Blinds and Curtains: Blinds & Shutters Cost in Wollongong 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.
Wollongong bedrooms usually get blockout rollers, and the living areas light-filtering fabric or double day/night rollers at $180–$400 so the ocean or escarpment view stays open by day.
In an older cottage, timber venetians at $300–$600 and Roman blinds at $250–$500 suit the house, while aluminium or PVC venetians at $150–$350 are a practical choice for the bathroom and laundry. Honeycomb blinds at $200–$450 add a layer of air to a cold south-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 Wollongong
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 Wollongong brick home or a renovated cottage, keeping privacy without losing light. Standard windows are $450–$750 each fully fitted, and tall windows or French doors are priced by area at $300–$800 per square metre.
External roller shutters suit a west-facing bedroom under the afternoon sun or a ground-floor unit that needs security. 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 Wollongong
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 keep a Wollongong deck or balcony usable when a southerly change comes through. A manual zip blind runs in side channels at $300–$450 per square metre, a motorised straight-drop blind is $1,200–$2,500 per blind, and a clear PVC cafe blind is quoted by size.
Close to the beach, salt air works on metal, so ask what the channels, brackets and fixings are made of. In an apartment, check with the owners corporation before ordering anything fixed to a balcony.
What Affects Blinds & Shutters Costs in Wollongong
A Wollongong quote follows the product, the size and number of windows, and any motor or outdoor work; the suburb does not change it.
Product
A roller at $150–$350 and a fully fitted plantation shutter at $450–$750 are both per-window rows that sit far apart, so the product is the first decision.
Old cottage windows
Older windows in northern-suburbs cottages may be out of square, which takes more care to fit and pushes a price up its band.
Coastal wind
A zip blind on an exposed deck at $300–$450 per square metre is a bigger job than a blind on a sheltered balcony, so mention the exposure when you ask for quotes.
Motors
A battery or retrofit motor adds $150–$350 per internal blind; a motorised roller shutter is $700–$1,200 per window.
Fabric and slat choice
Blockout against light-filtering, and timber at $300–$600 against aluminium or PVC at $150–$350, move a quote within and between rows.
Escarpment blocks
Sloping blocks and two-storey homes under the escarpment make upper windows slower to reach, which moves a quote towards the top of each band.
How to Save Money on Blinds & Shutters Cost in Wollongong
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Wollongong 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 is the same rows at every window, so ask for each room as its own line.
Shutters and zip blinds scale with area: oversized plantation shutters are $300–$800 per square metre, and a deck closed in with zip blinds is priced on the opening at $300–$450 per square metre.
Blinds & Shutters Cost in Wollongong: What the Quote Should Include
Wollongong quotes compare best when each lists every window with its size, names the product and material, and shows motors, removal and outdoor work 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
