How Much Do Plantation Shutters Cost in London?

Plantation shutters are one of the most searched window treatments in London — and one of the most misunderstood when it comes to pricing. Here is a clear breakdown.

Average Costs Per Square Metre (Fitted)

• MDF shutters: £150–£220 per m²
• Hardwood shutters: £220–£500 per m²
• Waterproof ABS (bathrooms): £180–£280 per m²

A standard window fully installed typically costs £300–£900 depending on size, material and window shape.

What Affects the Price?

Window shape plays a big role. Bay windows, arches and unusual shapes require custom engineering and cost more than standard rectangular openings. Louvre width also affects price — 47mm, 63mm or 89mm slats are available, with wider louvres typically commanding a premium. Premium hardwood species and bespoke paint finishes push prices toward the upper end of the range.

MDF vs Hardwood — Which Should You Choose?

MDF is a great choice for most rooms — it is dimensionally stable, takes paint well and looks excellent. Hardwood is worth the extra investment in high-humidity rooms (bathrooms, kitchens) or if you want a premium feel and grain detail. ABS is our recommendation for wet rooms — it is completely waterproof and will not warp.

Are They Worth It?

Yes. Plantation shutters add measurable value to London properties, require almost no maintenance and last 20+ years. Most homeowners tell us they wish they had fitted them sooner.
