Roller blinds cost per window, supplied and installed
Choose the privacy and light control you need in each room. A sunscreen blind can suit daytime glare, while a blockout fabric and suitable mounting may be more important for sleep.
Worked budget
An Australian blinds supplier publishes $110–$500 per standard window for supply and installation. Custom fabrics, large openings and motorisation may cost more. Confirm GST in the quote.
| Scenario | Rate per window | Base total |
|---|---|---|
| Low | $110 | $440 |
| Medium | $305 | $1,220 |
| High | $500 | $2,000 |
The medium rate is the midpoint of the published range. Totals exclude contingency and any separately priced work.
The example multiplies the installed rate by four. Check whether the installer applies a shared fitting charge or prices by opening. Measure the width and drop of every window.
Ask for the fabric, bracket position, child-safe control arrangement and any removal or motorisation to be itemised.

What to include in the scope
Compare ready-made and measured-to-fit options opening by opening. Confirm recess depth, handles, side gaps and child-safe fittings. Motorisation, electrical work and awkward high openings should be separately priced.

Ready-made versus made-to-measure
Ready-made blinds can be less expensive when your window dimensions match available sizes. Made-to-measure blinds accommodate unusual dimensions and can provide better edge coverage, but confirming measurements and installation scope is important.
Blockout and sunscreen are different products
Blockout fabric aims to limit incoming light, whereas sunscreen fabrics preserve some daylight and visibility. A combined day/night treatment may require two mechanisms and a different quote.
Questions about installation
Check whether each quoted window includes measuring, brackets, removal of existing coverings and any motorisation or charging arrangement.
Ask before you accept a quote.
- Who takes the final measure, how much light will pass around the sides, and does the price include fitting and compliant controls?
- Is GST included, and is the price fixed or estimated?
- Are removal, disposal, access and making-good included?
- What changes would trigger extra costs, and who approves them?
- What is the warranty on products and workmanship?
