Here is the straight answer: a medium-size window - most living room, dining and bedroom windows - runs about $700–$1,000 in our Sanctuary poly shutters and $1,000–$1,400 in Normandy wood. Your exact price is still per-window and per-project, because every shutter is custom-built to your exact openings, so treat these as planning ranges rather than a quote.
Plantation shutter prices per window in Arizona
Small means bathrooms and small bedroom or office windows; medium is most living room, dining and bedroom windows; large is big windows, wide openings and sliders.
| Window size | Sanctuary poly | Normandy wood |
|---|---|---|
| Small (about 12 sq ft) | $400–$600 | $600–$800 |
| Medium (about 20 sq ft) | $700–$1,000 | $1,000–$1,400 |
| Large (about 38 sq ft) | $1,300–$1,900 | $1,900–$2,700 |
A whole-house example. 15 windows, all medium size, comes to about $10,400–$15,200 in Sanctuary or $15,500–$21,300 in Normandy.
These are the same numbers our pricing calculator gives for the same windows, rounded to the nearest $100, with a standard tilt rod and frame. Hidden-tilt options (ClearTilt and InvisibleTilt) add about 10%. Arches, angles and other specialty shapes are priced at your consultation. To get a range for your own mix of windows, put your counts into the calculator - it takes about two minutes.
The five things that actually drive the price
Window count. The biggest lever, and the most obvious one. Shutters are priced per window, so a 12-window home is a different project than a 30-window home. This is also why the “whole house or start small” decision is yours - the price scales with exactly what you cover.
Window size. A powder-room window and an 8-foot great-room window are different amounts of shutter. Bigger openings mean more material, more panels, and more engineering to keep the louvers straight for decades - especially in Arizona heat.
Material. Our Sanctuary poly shutters and Normandy wood shutters sit at different price points, and within wood, stained finishes involve more finishing work than painted ones. Material is also where the long-term math lives: the right material here is a one-time purchase; the wrong one is a subscription.
Shapes and specialty windows. Arches, angles, circles, and sliding-door applications take custom engineering and templating. They are also where shutters most outshine every alternative - a specialty-shape shutter turns the hardest window in the house into the best-looking one.
Options. Louver size, hidden tilt, divider rails, and frame styles fine-tune the look and function. Some options add cost; several of the best-looking choices add little or nothing. This is where an honest designer earns their keep - steering you to the options that change the room, not just the invoice.
In Arizona homes, the range conversation is different
In much of the country, shutters compete with heavy drapes and premium shades on looks alone. Here, the desert adds two Arizona-specific lines to the value side of the ledger.
First, heat: a closed shutter insulates the biggest heat source in the room - the glass - during the hours that matter. Second, durability: our sun destroys cheap window treatments on a schedule, which is why so many Valley homeowners are on their second or third product at the same windows. A shutter priced honestly is competing against everything you would have bought instead, added together - including the cheap vinyl that needs replacing every few summers.
That is also why the warranty belongs in the price conversation. Two identical-looking quotes are not identical if one includes sun damage coverage, $0 service calls, and $0 labor for as long as you live in your home - and one excludes all three. Ours is in writing: the Everything’s Covered Guarantee.
“Working with SW Blinds was seamless and professional from start to finish. The design consultant (Perry), the measurer (Kevin) and Installer (Ethan) were all great not to mention the office/dispatch staff. I found pricing to be very reasonable compared to competition. I found options to be more expansive then the competition. However the service is what set SW Blinds apart in the end. I would highly recommend.”

How to get your real number
Skip the guessing entirely:
- Get a range in two minutes. Count your windows by rough size, and our pricing calculator gives you an honest planning range for your project - no phone number required.
- Get an exact price at your windows. A designer measures every opening, shows you real samples in your light, and gives you a transparent, no-obligation quote at the appointment. Free, no obligation, no pressure - you decide on your own timeline.
The range tells you if the project fits your plans. The consultation tells you exactly what it costs. The ranges on this page come from the same pricing the calculator uses, so the two will not disagree - but only a measure of your actual windows turns a range into a price.
Common cost questions, answered straight
Why won’t shutter companies just publish a price list? We do publish ours as ranges: a medium window runs $700–$1,000 in Sanctuary poly and $1,000–$1,400 in Normandy wood, and the table above has every size. What no one can honestly publish is a fixed per-window price, because every shutter is built to your exact opening. The range tells you where you will land; the free consultation gives you the exact number.
Are plantation shutters more expensive than blinds or shades? Per window, yes. Per year of service in the Arizona sun, the math usually flips - shutters are typically the last treatment a room needs, while budget products here are a repeating purchase. The full comparison has its own honest page: shutters vs. blinds in Arizona. And unlike anything that hangs in a window, shutters convey with the house - here is what that means for home value.
Does every window need shutters at once? No - start with the windows you see most and finish later. Pricing is per window, and the color and style will match when you add more.
Is financing available? Yes. Your designer will walk you through the current plans at your consultation, so you can compare a monthly payment against paying in full - no surprises, no pressure either way.
