What do bedroom roller shutters cost?

The cost of a roller shutter can vary greatly, depending on the size of the window, the material chosen and the method of operation. On average, prices range between £90 and £600 per roller shutter. Below is a price overview of average prices for installing a roller shutter on the bedroom.

What choices do you have when buying a roller shutter?

When you go to buy a roller shutter, you can put it together according to your wishes. You have several options in terms of material and operation. Check them out below.

Choice 1: manual or electric?

There are many options and variations available when it comes to bedroom shutters. One of the most important choices is whether you choose electric or manual operation. Electric operation allows you to control your shutters via a switch or remote control. Manual operation, on the other hand, offers a simple solution and is often more economical.

Electric shutters also have the option of being extended with a wifi module. This makes it possible to also operate these roller shutters via wifi by means of an app. This allows you to control the roller shutter no matter where you are and even set schedules to automatically raise and lower it. For example, when the sun is shining or when you are on holiday.

Choice 2: which material?

There are different materials available for roller shutters, such as plastic or aluminium. Aluminium roller shutters tend to be more expensive, but offer greater resistance to corrosion and are therefore more suitable for outdoor use. Plastic roller shutters are cheaper and lighter weight, but less resistant to weathering.

In addition, different colours and designs are also available, depending on the material. This allows you to choose a roller shutter that is not only functional, but also perfectly suits your needs and interior.

Advantages of a roller shutter in the bedroom

There are good reasons to choose a roller shutter in the bedroom. This is because roller shutters not only offer an insulating effect, keeping your home cooler and warmer, but they also have a soundproofing and burglar-proofing function. This makes your bedroom a lot quieter and safer.

Shutters also offer the possibility to regulate the amount of light in your bedroom. This is especially useful if you suffer from insomnia or want to prevent light from outside from entering your bedroom for some other reason. This also certainly makes roller shutters ideal for street-facing bedrooms.

Roll Shutter Installed by yourself or by a professional?

If you opt for professional installation of a roller shutter, you have to take into account additional costs. These costs vary depending on the size of the window, the type of roller shutter you choose, any extra options, the finishing touches and the quantity of roller shutters you want installed. On average, professional installation costs are between £100 and £200 per roller shutter.

Because these costs can vary considerably, it is wise to always approach several specialists for a no-obligation quote. You can do this by requesting several roller shutter quotes from Renoca with a single button.

Saving tips for roller shutters

There are several factors that greatly influence the cost of a roller shutter. One of the most important factors is the material. Plastic roller shutters are often cheaper than aluminium roller shutters, but aluminium roller shutters are more durable and often have better insulation. So, if you are looking for a roller shutter with a longer lifespan, an aluminium roller shutter would be a better choice than a plastic roller shutter.

The method of operation is also an important consideration. Manual operation is actually always cheaper than electric operation, but electric operation in turn offers more convenience and comfort. You can choose a tubular motor with a switch or a remote control, which allows you to operate the roller shutter without leaving your bed.

Another important factor that affects the price is whether you want to install the roller shutter yourself or have it installed by a specialist. If you are handy, you can save considerably on the cost by installing the roller shutter yourself. But if you have no experience installing roller shutters and are not that handy, it is wiser to leave the installation to a specialist. This will ensure that your roller shutter is precisely sized and installed correctly. This will save you potential problems in the future and increase the lifespan of your roller shutter. Moreover, you can make use of the guarantee in the event of any problems.

Tips for choosing a roller shutter

Below you will find a number of tips to consider when choosing a roller shutter.

• Measure your window openings accurately before ordering, so that you can be sure that the roller shutter will fit. If in doubt, consult a specialist.
• Compare the insulation and soundproofing properties of the roller shutter, especially if your bedroom is located on a busy and noisy street.

• Compare the prices of different specialists before making a decision.
