- Homeowners measuring up windows before requesting roller shutter quotes.
- Key takeaway
- Per-window price drops sharply when you bundle multiple windows on one install visit.
Roller shutter pricing scales with window size because larger shutters need wider slats, stronger guides and end-retainers, and bigger motors if electric. Here's how price tracks against the most common Australian window sizes.

What changes the price
Slat width changes with span
Standard residential slats are ~37 mm. Beyond about 2.7 m wide, installers move to 55 mm or 75 mm slats which are stronger but more expensive.
Motor sizing
Larger shutters need higher-torque motors. A small standard motor might be $80; a heavy-duty motor on a sliding-door shutter might be $200+.
Box (headbox) size
Bigger shutters need bigger boxes to roll up inside. The box adds to the visible height and installer labour.
Two-person installs
Above about 1800 mm wide, most installers send two people. Labour cost roughly doubles for that window.
Bundling makes the per-window price drop
Most installers price aggressively for whole-of-house jobs because the labour overhead per visit drops as window count goes up. A single small window quoted on its own can be 30-50% more per unit than the same window inside an 8-10 window bundle. If you're renovating, do the whole house in one go.
Non-standard sizes need real measurements
Quotes for windows outside the standard sizes should always be confirmed after a physical site measure. Beware online estimates for double-height, arched, or angled windows. They're indicative only.
Checklist before you accept a quote
- 1
Measure the rough opening
Width and height of the actual hole in the wall, not the visible glass.

Check there's enough clearance above the window for the shutter to roll into.
- 3
Confirm slat profile for the size
Ask the installer to specify slat width and material for each window.
- 4
Get same-spec quotes
For comparable quotes, ask each installer to quote the same slat profile.
