How much do plantation shutters cost per m² in the UK?
Published UK guides for 2026 put fitted prices at roughly £250–£350 per m² for MDF, £290–£400 for faux wood or composite and £330–£550 for hardwood. These are indicative ranges, not quotes.
Are prices usually per window or per square metre?
Most installers price shutters by the square metre of shutter area, so larger windows cost proportionally more.
Do bay windows cost more?
Often, yes. Bay windows can need additional trims and battens, which increases the cost.
Do tier-on-tier and tracked shutters cost more?
They tend to, because of additional panels and hardware.
Which material is best for a bathroom?
Vinyl or faux wood/composite shutters are generally chosen for wet and humid rooms because they resist moisture.
Is DIY cheaper?
Supply-only DIY shutters are cheaper, but you take on the risk of measuring and fitting. A small measuring error can mean shutters that do not fit.
