How Much Do Plantation Shutters Cost in Australia? (2026 Price Guide)
Chris & Campbell, LuxeShutters · 7 April 2026
"Just give me a straight number." That's what a Wagga homeowner asked us last Tuesday, and honestly, we hear that request on nearly every enquiry. So here it is: plantation shutters cost between $300 and $800 per square metre installed across Australia in 2026. For a standard opening (1200mm x 1200mm), expect to pay $450 to $750 fully fitted.
We've measured, quoted, and mounted hundreds of louvre sets throughout Temora, Wagga Wagga, Griffith, and the broader Riverina, so this guide reflects our real-world trade figures rather than a generic online estimate.
Quick summary
- PVC/Poly shutters: $300–$500 per m² installed — best value for most Australian residences
- Basswood/Timber: $500–$800 per m² installed — premium natural finish
- Standard opening (1200×1200mm): $450–$750 fully fitted (supply + install + GST)
- Whole home (3 bed, 8–10 openings): $4,000–$12,000 depending on substrate and quantity
- Industry ROI estimates suggest plantation shutters return up to 75% of their cost in home value
Cost by material in 2026
The substrate you select drives the largest portion of your total outlay. As CWGlobal dealers, we carry the full domestically-manufactured range, backed by structural guarantees stretching to 25 years on polymer products.
| Material | Cost / m² installed | Best for | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVC / Poly | $300–$500 | Bathrooms, kitchens, whole-home budgets | Up to 25 years |
| Basswood (timber) | $500–$700 | Living areas, statement rooms | 10 years |
| Premium hardwood | $650–$800 | Period restoration, premium builds | 10 years |
| Aluminium (security) | $500–$700 | Outdoor and security applications | 10 years |
What changes the price?
Beyond material, the biggest cost drivers are: opening dimensions (larger panels need heavier hardware), louvre size (63mm and 89mm cost more than 47mm), motorisation, and custom colour matching. A typical Riverina home with eight standard openings, all in PVC with a clear white finish, lands around $5,000–$6,500 installed.
