How Much Do Roller Shutters Cost

How Much Do Roller Shutters Cost?

Price of Roller Shutters - Installed roller shutters in Australia generally range from $1000 to $1900 depending on quality of materials and the supplier. The price also depends on the size, property type (single storey, double storey, balcony, apartments etc.), control device (wall switches, remote controls, phone app control etc). Asking for a "standard" price is challenging because there are no standard windows.

Cheap shutters that are priced at the lower end of the price range like $1000-$1200 are generally made using inferior materials. Just to give you an idea, a middle of the range security door from crimsafe will cost you above $1000 installed with no electric motor, no electrical wiring required, no moving parts and a lot less aluminium. So if you think to yourself, how can an installed aluminium roller shutters with electric motor including electrician costs around $1000. You must understand that these companies are still making profit on $1000, so the material and the quality of the workmanship that you will receive will be extremely poor. If you are purchasing these cheap shutters, the supplier will not be able to sustain should there be any problem to service your roller shutters.

Why Do Companies Charge Such Drastically Different Prices?

Roller shutter companies know that most people will only purchase shutters once or twice in their lives. Therefore they have little incentive to earn repeat business. The logical move for many is thus to earn as much as possible from each job and if a customer feels it was a bit high then it won't matter as they aren't coming back either way. Most companies that sell cheap shutters on the lower end of the market are not inspired to supply a quality product and install it in a professional manner. They just want to take your money for an inferior product and do the job good or bad and move forward never looking back. They will not want to come back to service the shutter when it breaks down.

Where does that leave Ultimate Shutter? We are analogous to Grill'd perhaps. We want to offer a better product at a fair price. Our standard Slimline shutter is feature-heavy and an excellent value for money.

What Goes Into Roller Shutter Pricing?

Our animated shutter shows 18 different components of a roller shutter. While there are more parts (screws, rivets, etc.) these component parts make up the majority of parts for a shutter. So what are they?

1. Top Cover - Protects the back & top of the shutter and keeps it enclosed. This is the back half of the pelmet.
2. Front Cover - The rounded section of the pelmet which keeps the motor & all interior parts covered.
3. Pelmet End Caps - The motor & axle are held in place by these ends which complete the pelmet.
4. Protective Side Plates - These plates keep the shutter from jamming and reduce your repair bills.
5. Motor Mounts - Attach the motor to the end caps & hold it all together.
6. ASA Tubular Motors - Our Italian-made 230V motor. All Ultimate Shutter products are motorised shutters.
7. Axle - The 56mm x 2.1mm extruded aluminium axle secures the roller shutter without interfering with the motor's operation.
8. Rubber Rings - These rings protect the shutter from making metal to metal contact with the axle & damaging the shutter profile.
9. Foam Pad Shutter Springs - More security from metal on metal contact extends the life of your shutter & helps it close properly.
10. Nylon Shutter Entry Guides - These guides keep everything on track and in the track to avoid unnecessary problems.
11. Heavy Duty Idle Roller - Solid 6mm axle roller can support large shutters without flexing and with little roll resistence.
12. Shutter Guides - The guides do exactly that - guiding the shutter down its track and into place properly.

14. Shutter Profiles - 44mm aluminium, foam filled slats that are designed to roll up compact and span up to 3600mm.
15. Retaining Clips - End caps for your profiles, protecting the foam insulation & finishing the slats.
