Short answer: Roller shutter prices in Perth depend on the size of each opening, the shutter profile, and whether you choose manual or electric operation. Published Perth and WA guides put manual shutters from roughly $400 to $1,800 per window and electric shutters from roughly $800 to $2,500 per window, with larger openings, heavier commercial profiles and motorised control sitting at the top of that range.

What Drives the Price
No two roller shutter jobs cost the same, because the price is built from several separate factors rather than one flat rate.
- Size of the opening. Wider and taller windows or doors need more slat material and a heavier housing and guide system, so cost scales with the size of each opening.
- Profile. Residential shutters typically come in 42mm single line, 42mm double line, 55mm widespan or 77mm widespan profiles. Heavier profiles like 55mm and 77mm widespan are built for larger openings and carry a higher cost than a standard 42mm single line shutter of the same width.
- Manual vs electric vs smart control. A manual shutter needs no wiring. An electric shutter adds a motor and control, plus the electrical work to install it. Smart or app-controlled options sit above standard electric.
- Number of shutters. Pricing per shutter usually improves once you are covering multiple windows in one job, since site setup and travel are shared across the whole installation.
- Wiring and electrical work. Any motorised shutter needs a licensed electrician to run power and wire the motor, which is a separate cost component from the shutter itself.
- Access and installation difficulty. Upper-storey windows, awkward access or existing fittings that need to be removed first can all add to the installation side of the quote.
Typical Perth Price Ranges
Because pricing depends on so many variables, published guides give ranges rather than a single figure, and those ranges vary between suppliers and by shutter type:
- Perth supplier RollerSmart quotes manual shutters from around $500 to $1,000 per window, and motorised shutters from around $800 to $1,800 per window, with heavier extruded aluminium commercial profiles running 22-30% above standard aluminium (RollerSmart, 2026).
- Perth supplier ShutterCo WA puts professionally installed manual shutters at roughly $1,000 to $1,800 per window for high-quality units, moving higher again for motorised (ShutterCo WA, 2026).
- WA-based Kings Roller Shutters lists smaller manual windows (around 900mm x 900mm) from about $400 to $650, and standard-size manual windows (around 1200mm x 1200mm) from about $550 to $800 (Kings Roller Shutters, 2025-26).
- At a national level, Canstar’s cost guide (drawing on hipages tradie data) puts roller shutters at roughly $300 to $1,000 per unit overall, with manual shutters from about $300 to $725 and electric from about $500 to $1,000, before installation (Canstar, 2025).
The spread between these sources shows how much size, profile and finish move the final number. Treat any of these figures as a starting guide only, not a quote, since none of them can account for the specific windows on your property.
Manual vs Electric Cost Difference
Across the published guides above, electric shutters consistently sit above manual shutters for a comparable size and profile, generally by several hundred dollars per window once the motor and wiring are factored in. RollerSmart’s Perth figures show manual from $500 versus motorised from $800 for the same window class, and Canstar’s national figures show a similar gap between manual (from $300) and electric (from $500) (RollerSmart, 2026; Canstar, 2025).
That gap covers the motor itself, the control (switch, remote or app), and the licensed electrical work to wire it in. It is a one-off cost at installation, and it buys a shutter that closes at the touch of a button rather than by hand, every time.

Are Roller Shutters Worth It?
Cost only tells half the story. Roller shutters also change how a home or business performs day to day:
- Heat control. A closed roller shutter can reduce heat coming through the window by up to 90%, which matters through a Perth summer on west and north-facing windows in particular.
- Light control. Shutters can block up to 96% of light, useful for bedrooms, media rooms, and any space where you want full darkness on demand.
- Security. A closed shutter is a physical barrier over the glass itself, not just a deterrent sticker or a flimsy screen, which is why security is one of the most common reasons Perth homeowners install them.
- A quieter feel indoors. A solid shutter over the glass is also widely reported to take the edge off external noise, on top of its heat and light benefits, though the amount varies by shutter type and window.
Weighed against the price ranges above, most of our customers find the ongoing comfort and security benefits are what justify the upfront cost, rather than any single feature on its own.
How MCF Quotes
MCF Master Group does not publish a fixed price list, because no two jobs are the same. Instead, every quote is built from an on-site assessment of your actual windows:
- Free measure and quote. We measure every opening in person so the number you get reflects your property, not a generic size bracket.
- Price match. If you already have a written quote from another supplier for a comparable product, we will beat it by 5% (this applies to comparison products only).
- 10-year warranty. Every roller shutter we install is backed by a 10-year warranty, which is factored into the value of the quote, not just the sticker price.
- In-house electricians. Any electric shutter is installed and wired by our own qualified electricians under electrical contractor licence EC 11167, rather than being handed to a separate subcontractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do roller shutters cost in Perth?
Published Perth and WA guides put manual roller shutters at roughly $400 to $1,800 per window and electric shutters at roughly $800 to $2,500 per window, depending on size, profile and supplier (RollerSmart, 2026; ShutterCo WA, 2026; Kings Roller Shutters, 2025-26). The exact figure for your property depends on the specifics of each opening, which is why we recommend a free measure and quote.
Are electric roller shutters a lot more expensive than manual?
Electric shutters generally cost several hundred dollars more per window than a manual shutter of the same size and profile, because the price includes the motor, control and the licensed electrical work to wire it in. Once installed, the running cost difference is minimal.
Does the number of shutters affect the price per window?
Yes, in most cases. Covering several windows in one job usually brings the per-shutter cost down slightly compared with a single shutter, since the site visit, measure and installation time are shared across the whole job.
Do I need an electrician for roller shutters?
Only for motorised shutters. Manual shutters do not need electrical work. Any electric shutter does need a licensed electrician to wire the motor, which is why MCF carries out that work in-house under electrical contractor licence EC 11167 rather than outsourcing it.

The only reliable way is a free, on-site measure and quote, since published price guides are only ever a starting range. Book a free measure with MCF and, if you already have a written quote from elsewhere for a comparable product, we will beat it by 5%.
