7 things that change your quote
Material
PVC is the value choice, timber the premium, aluminium the weatherproof option. This is the biggest single lever.
Window size
Shutters are priced by area, so a large living-room window costs more than a small bathroom opening.
Shape and access
Bay, arched and angled windows, or hard-to-reach openings, carry a complexity uplift of around 20 percent.
Louvre size and colour
Wider louvres and custom stains or paints add to the price. Standard whites are the most cost-effective.
Mount and frame
Deep heritage reveals may need a build-out frame, which adds materials and labour.
Motorisation
Motorised tilt is a genuine premium and is rarely needed on most windows.
Number of windows
A whole-home job usually earns a better per-window rate than a single window, so bundling rooms can lower the effective price.
