How much should I expect to pay for shutters?

When considering adding shutters to your home, cost is a key factor. The price of shutters can vary based on several elements, including the material, size, and style you choose. At Shutters of Elegance, we offer a range of bespoke shutters to suit different budgets and preferences.

Factors Influencing Shutter Costs

Understanding what drives the price of shutters will help you make an informed decision. Here are the main factors that influence the cost:

• Material: The material you choose greatly impacts the cost. Real wood shutters, such as those in our Worcester and Ashwood ranges, provide a luxurious, high-end look and are generally more expensive than PVC options like the Vienna range. While wood offers a timeless aesthetic, PVC is a practical choice for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms, balancing style with functionality.
• Size and Customisation: Larger windows or windows with unique shapes require custom solutions, which can raise the overall cost. Our shutters are made-to-measure, ensuring a perfect fit, even for bay windows or unusually shaped spaces. Customisation options, including colour choice and louvre size, also impact pricing.
• Design and Style: Opting for intricate designs or additional features (such as motorised shutters) can increase the price. Our Portchester range, for example, combines aesthetics with added security features, offering value beyond just design.
• Installation: Professional installation ensures your shutters are fitted to perfection. While this adds to the cost, it guarantees that your shutters will function smoothly and look beautiful for years to come.

How Much Should You Budget?

The cost of shutters can vary significantly based on the factors above. On average, you might expect to pay anywhere from £250 to £750 per window, depending on the material, size, and any additional customisation.

Real Wood vs. PVC Shutters

Choosing between real wood and PVC shutters is often a matter of budget, style, and location within your home. Real wood shutters, like those in our Worcester and Ashwood ranges, offer a natural beauty and smooth or wood-grain finishes. They tend to be more expensive but add a premium, elegant touch. PVC shutters, like those in our Vienna range, are more budget-friendly and perfect for rooms that experience higher humidity, as they are waterproof.

Why Choose Bespoke Shutters?

While off-the-shelf options may seem cheaper initially, bespoke shutters provide a better fit, higher quality, and more customisation options. At Shutters of Elegance, every shutter is tailor-made to your window’s exact measurements, ensuring a seamless fit and a polished look. This level of customisation can make a significant difference in both the functionality and aesthetics of your shutters.

Value in Long-Term Investment

Shutters are not just a temporary window treatment; they are a long-term investment that can add value to your home. With proper care, shutters can last for decades, unlike other window coverings that may need replacing every few years. This durability, combined with their classic appeal, makes them a cost-effective choice over time.
