How Much Should I Budget?

Budgeting for Blinds.

When it comes to building or renovating, it can be tricky to know how much money to allocate to your project. Thankfully, at BarrierScreens we’ve decided to take some of the guess work out of budgeting for your new home or renovation’s Blinds, Screens and Shutters.

There are two key factors that will influence the price of your blinds:

  1. Window Size

  2. Style of Window Covering

1. Window Size

Contrary to popular belief, there is, unfortunately, no standard size window! In fact, even when we quote from a house plan at the initial stages of planning, the exact measurement of the window may change throughout the build and will require a check measure before production and installation.

Because the size of the window has a significant impact on the pricing, it is important to seek pricing once you have a rough idea of your window measurements. If you have house plans, you can upload them here, otherwise, if you have an existing home, one of our expert representatives can provide an initial measure and quote for you.

2. Type of Window Covering

The other cost factor is which kind or kinds of window coverings you’d like to grace your home with.

Within each style of window covering are different fabrics and options that cause price variance, however, we can say that as a general rule, Roller Blinds and Vertical Blinds tend to be the most cost effective covering, and the beautiful Plantation Shutters tend to be at the opposite end of the spectrum. However, it is not uncommon for our clients to incorporate a thoughtful mix of window furnishings in their home, many opting for Plantation Shutters on the front of the house, or on certain bedrooms, and the elegant simplicity of Roller Blinds on the rest.

When it comes to choosing a window furnishing that will suit your needs and price points, it’s a good idea to have a chat with us about what you’re hoping to achieve. With more than 26 years of industry knowledge, we’re confident we can find the perfect solution for your home.

So, what does it cost for a whole house of blinds?

Our median order value is $3,000, however, as there are many factors that contribute to the answer, this is a bit of a tricky question to answer accurately.
