See Roller Shutters On Your Own House

If you are wondering what roller shutters would look like on your house, this free visualiser lets you find out using a photo of the actual property. Showroom samples and stock photos only show what a shutter looks like on somebody else's window.

This visualiser answers it directly. Upload a photo of your house from your phone or computer, click the four corners of a window, and a roller shutter is drawn over it following the angle of that window. Add as many windows as you like, drag the corners until each one lines up, and you have a picture of your own home with shutters on it.

Compare supported colours, then preview the shutters open, half closed or fully closed. Choose No shutters for a quick before-and-after comparison without deleting the window you marked.

Nothing is detected automatically and nothing is guessed. You place every window yourself, which is why it works on any photo: brick, render, weatherboard, single storey or double.

The visualiser is not roller-shutter only. Switch to Outdoor Blinds and use the same photo and marked openings to preview track-guided blinds on a patio, pergola, verandah, alfresco or other outdoor entertaining area. It is a practical way to compare outdoor blind ideas for privacy, shade and blocking afternoon sun before you request a quote.

You can also switch to plantation shutters or indoor roller, venetian and vertical blinds. Each product is drawn as itself, while your marked openings and measurements stay put. See our outdoor blinds guide for the differences between fabrics, tracks and weather suitability.

Solar works differently and is treated differently. Panels go on the roof, not over a window, and they are quoted per kilowatt after an installer checks your roof, switchboard and shading. So solar gives you a panel layout and an approximate system size rather than a price we could not stand behind. Mark a roof plane, set how many panels fit across and down it, and send the layout through for real numbers.

Choose No shutters for a before view without losing the windows you marked, then turn the shutters back on for the after view. When you find a look you like, download a copy of the house image with the design, window measurements and selected options attached. Change the colour or shutter position, download another copy, then compare the saved images side by side before you choose.

You can also save the full interactive design and copy its private link. The link reopens your house photo, marked windows, measurements, colours and options so you can come back later or share the exact version with someone else. No account is required.

Colour is the change people most often regret. A shutter that looks smart against a dark render can wash out completely on a light brick facade, and the only reliable way to judge it is against your own walls.

Every colour offered in the visualiser is a colour the quote engine on this site can actually price, so the design you build is a design an installer can quote on. Switch between them and the shutters on your photo update immediately. You can set one colour across every window at once, or give different windows different colours.

If you are asking what colour roller shutters you should get, compare light and dark options against your brick, render, roof and trim rather than choosing from a tiny swatch. Saving two or three versions makes it easier to see which shutter colour works best with the whole house.

Final colour matching is still done off a physical sample from your installer. Screens and photos both shift colour, so treat the visualiser as a way to narrow the shortlist rather than confirm the exact shade.

Enter the approximate width and height of each window in millimetres and the visualiser prices the job using the same pricing engine as our roller shutter price calculator. There is no separate visualiser formula and no second set of numbers.

Price responds to the things that genuinely move it: the area of each opening, whether the shutter is manual or motorised, whether you add remote control, how many windows you are doing, and whether you want supply only or supply and install. Add a fourth shutter and the bulk discount applies exactly as it would in the calculator.

Measurements are used for the estimate only. They do not have to match the scale of your photo, and the visualiser never tries to work out dimensions from the image. A tape measure across the outside of the window reveal is close enough at this stage. For how the underlying numbers are built, see our roller shutter cost guide.

You get the full design and the full estimate without an account, an email address or a phone number. There is no gate part-way through and no "enter your details to see your price" step.

Your house photo is loaded and resized inside your own browser, and nothing is sent to us while you are designing. It is only stored if you choose to save your design or send it through for quotes, and then it is held privately so your saved link reopens the picture you built.

If you decide you want real numbers from real installers, the design carries across into our quote comparison request so you are not typing every window in a second time. If you don't, close the tab and nothing has been shared.
