Price of a fitted
roller shutter.

The amounts below come from our own quotes, drawn up between 2024 and 2026 for houses and flats in Savoie and Haute-Savoie. They are rounded and given excluding VAT, with the incl. VAT equivalent at 10%, the most common rate in renovation. The last column shows how many quotes each line rests on: when there are only one or two, the figure gives an order of magnitude, not an average.

What we do not price here. All the roller shutters in our recent quotes are motorised: none prices a crank, strap or solar-motor version. Rather than copy a national price list, we prefer to say so. If you are hesitating between several operating methods, ask for them as options on the same quote: it is the only reliable comparison, like for like.

The "whole level" option. In nine quotes, the shutters of a ground floor or an upper floor are priced on a single line, from €2,000 to €8,100 excl. VAT. The amount of €4,200 comes up in six of them. As the number of openings is not always detailed, no price per shutter can be drawn from it.

Most of our lines do not price a shutter, but a window "roller shutter included". This is the normal solution when the joinery is changed: the box is ordered with it, to the same dimensions, and fitted in the same visit. These overall prices cannot be compared with the price of a shutter alone.

Subtracting a shutter price from these amounts to obtain that of the window would be misleading: the manufacturer invoices the whole, and the fitting is shared. The price of windows is detailed in the guide price of a fitted window, and our guide changing your joinery covers windows, doors and shutters in a single budget.

Calculated example. Replacing the hinged shutters of six windows with motorised roller shutters, without touching the windows, comes with our prices to 6 × €1,200 to €1,300, plus €850 to €1,000 for removal and disposal, or about €8,050 to €8,800 excl. VAT. This is a calculation made from our ranges, not the price of a real project: the electrical supply to each shutter and the condition of the reveals can move it.

The box. In renovation, the box is most often fitted on the outside, under the lintel or on the facade: nothing changes inside, but the casing remains visible. A box built in above the window, invisible from outside, means changing the joinery or reworking the masonry, and its airtightness must be done carefully so as not to create a leak above each opening. Finally, the window-and-shutter unit arrives in one piece with the window: this is the case for the "roller shutter included" lines in the previous table.

The width and the slats. The price follows first the area of the slat curtain. In our quotes, the shutters priced alone fit French windows 2.50 m high and an opening more than 3 m wide, with aluminium slats, stiffer than PVC over large spans.

The motor and the electrics. A motorised shutter needs a supply at each opening. When a conduit already exists, the connection is quick; otherwise, our electricians run a line, which may require a chase and repainting. It is often this item, more than the shutter itself, that makes the difference between two quotes.

On our quotes, a fitted hinged shutter costs €700 to €1,100 excl. VAT each, in aluminium with vertical slats or in wood-effect PVC, depending on its size and the number of leaves. This is the same order of price as a motorised roller shutter, with no motor or electrics to plan for.

In the villages and old centres of Savoie, the hinged shutter is often part of the facade. Replacing it with a roller shutter changes the external appearance, which requires a prior declaration (déclaration préalable), and the approval of the ABF heritage architect (architecte des Bâtiments de France) near a protected monument. In a co-ownership building, the general meeting must also authorise it.

External insulation raises a particular question: the thickness of insulation moves the facade away from the hinges. In one of our quotes, refitting fifteen hinged shutters on offset hinges, adjusted to the thickness of the insulation, came to about €650 excl. VAT per shutter. Our pages on external insulation in Annecy detail this type of project.

In a home completed more than two years ago, a shutter supplied and fitted by a firm falls under VAT at 10%. The 5.5% rate applies to two families of equipment defined by article 30-0 D bis of Annex IV to the French general tax code:

Insulating shutters: external shutters where the shutter and ventilated air gap together provide additional thermal resistance greater than 0.22 m².K/W. It is the manufacturer who gives this value; we ask for it before choosing the rate on the quote.

Movable solar protection, which must in particular fold away completely and meet a maximum solar factor. On a vertical opening, the text also requires a perforated slat curtain with more than 30% openness, a projecting protection or a solid hinged shutter with a gap: a standard solid roller shutter does not meet this last criterion.

In new construction, the standard rate of 20% applies. The detail of the three rates is explained in our guide to VAT on works. As for financial help, since 1^st September 2026 MaPrimeRénov' per measure funds only heat pumps and connection to a heat network: shutters are not included.
