Choices that affect the price of electric roller shutters

There are many options that affect the price of an electric roller shutter, which is why Renoca has listed the choices you will encounter for you. This will make it easier for you to choose a roller shutter that exactly suits your needs.

Choice 1: Material

First of all, the material of the roller shutter is important. You have the choice of plastic or aluminium.

  • Aluminium roller shutters are suitable for both small and large areas, as aluminium is solid metal. Moreover, aluminium roller shutters have an insulating effect, which helps you save on your energy bills. Despite the slightly higher price, most people choose the advantages of aluminium.
  • Plastic roller shutters are chosen because they are a lot cheaper than aluminium. Plastic is only suitable for small areas and has a less insulating effect than aluminium.

Roll shutters are available from 100 x 100 cm. Below you can see the prices for both materials and the 2 most common sizes:

Material Average price per roller shutter (incl. VAT)
100 x 100 cm
Average price per roller shutter (incl. vat)
200 x 200 cm
Plastic £ 90 – £ 150 £ 250 – £ 350
Aluminium £ 100 – £ 250 £ 350 – £ 600

Choice 2: Control

Most people choose electric roller shutters with rotary switch, as this is the cheapest. Although the price of a remote control is a bit higher, it is very convenient to use. To operate an electric roller shutter, you can choose from the following options:

Electric control Average additional cost per roller shutter (incl. VAT)
Block motor £ 60 – £ 150
Rotary switch + £ 20
Key switch + £ 50
Time switch + £ 50
Remote control + £ 100

Have in mind that a large roller shutter also requires a stronger and therefore more expensive motor to make it roll smoothly. The price of the motor depends on the following points:

  • the adaptor;
  • the surface area of the roller shutter;
  • the weight of the roller shutter;
  • the diameter of the shaft;

This is why the prices for motors vary a lot. The cost of the switch or remote control is added to the price of the motor.

Choice 3: Mounting

In order to give you the best possible service, mounting companies offer a measuring service where a specialist comes to measure the dimensions of your roller shutter. This ensures that your roller shutter fits perfectly. If you decide to have the roller shutter fitted by the specialist, the one-off service fee of £40 is often waived. The fitting of a roller shutter generally costs between £100 and £200 per roller shutter. In addition to this, you have a choice of three types of fitting:

  • Installation: Built-in roller shutters are particularly suitable for new-build homes, the shutter is then nicely concealed. For existing homes, this option is not common, as the facade has to be modified and this costs a lot of time and money.
  • Recessed: Recessed roller shutters are possible for both new-build and older homes, as the roller shutter is fixed to the wall or frame. This makes it appear as a single unit.
  • Outset: In the case of attachment shutters, the shutter is placed on or between the side walls, making this option suitable for all houses as well.

For the installation of a shutter on the second floor or higher, a surcharge is charged by the specialist, as the windows are difficult to reach with a ladder and the specialist has to bring scaffolding. An extra charge of around £30 will be made for this.

Choice 4: Additional options

Finally, there are a number of additional options with which you can customise your roller shutter:

Product Average price per unit ( incl. VAT). Exceptions
Anti-optil springs From £5 Feathers that make it impossible for burglars to push up the roller shutter
Lacquer pen £12 To mask minor damage
False window sill £12,50 60 x 30 mm per metre
Band retarder From £ 40 Only for manual operation
Insect screen From £ 75 Keeps unwanted insects out
Sun sensors From £ 180 Rolling shutter opens or closes automatically when the sun shines (adjustable)
Motion detector From £ 250 Shutter closes automatically if a potential burglar stays at your window or door for a long time
Home motion system £ 500 Wireless control of the shutter. Also control via tablet or smartphone possible for when you are not at home and the sun starts to shine
