What Affects the Cost of Made-to-Measure Blinds and Shutters?

When you ask for a price for blinds or shutters, the honest answer is that it depends. Everything we make is made to measure, so a few things decide what you pay.

The size of the window

Larger windows use more material and take more making, so they cost more than small ones.

The type of product

A simple roller blind and a set of tier-on-tier shutters are very different products. Shutters cost more up front but are built to last for many years.

Fabric or finish

Plain fabrics are usually the most affordable. Blackout, thermal and waterproof fabrics, and painted or wood finishes, affect the price.

Controls and extras

Cordless and motorised options add to the price, but they make a blind easier to use and, for families with young children, safer.

Window shape and number of windows

Bay windows, arches and very wide openings need extra work. Fitting several windows in one visit is usually more efficient than fitting a single window.

Comparing quotes

When you compare quotes, check that each includes measuring, making and fitting, and that the products are like for like. A written quote should spell this out.
