PVC windows with roller shutters
A roller shutter ordered with the window, and a roller shutter added a year later, are not the same product and not the same price. The difference is which one has to adapt to the other.
Why together, and not afterwards
When the shutter is made with the window, the box goes into the same opening and the height of the window is calculated with it from the start. When it is added later, the box has to go somewhere — most often at the expense of the glass height, or across the façade.
On top of that, one measuring visit and one installation cover both jobs. Adding it later means a second visit, a second installation, and usually building work.
A top-mounted or a built-in box
| Top-mounted | Built-in | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it sits | Above the window, visible from inside | In the wall, out of sight |
| When it is chosen | A replacement in an existing building | New-build or a major renovation |
| Effect on the glass | Reduces the height of the glass | Does not reduce it |
| Price | Lower | Higher, and it needs building work |
When windows are replaced in a flat, a top-mounted box is almost always the right solution — a built-in box means opening up the wall.
Manual or motorised
- Strap. The least expensive, and the fewest faults. For positions that are easy to reach.
- Motorised, with a switch. For large, heavy shutters, and for positions above a staircase or a bath.
- Motorised, with a remote control. When the whole house is closed at once.
For motorised shutters, power has to be brought to the box before installation. Running a cable afterwards means chasing the wall.
Aluminium or PVC slats
PVC slats are less expensive and quite enough for ordinary residential positions. Aluminium slats are foam-filled, stiffer, and better at holding heat, and they are required on wide openings where a PVC slat would bow.
Over a width of two metres, aluminium has practically no alternative.
What a roller shutter costs — 7,048 RSD (≈ 60 €) per m²
We make roller shutters at 7,048 RSD (≈ 60 €) per m², including installation. The size is taken from the opening the shutter covers, so the price per position is easy to check:
| Opening | Area | Shutter including installation |
|---|---|---|
| 80×120 cm | 0.96 m² | 6,813 RSD (≈ 58 €) |
| 100×120 cm | 1.20 m² | 8,457 RSD (≈ 72 €) |
| 120×140 cm | 1.68 m² | 11,863 RSD (≈ 101 €) |
| 140×140 cm | 1.96 m² | 13,860 RSD (≈ 118 €) |
| 180×140 cm | 2.52 m² | 17,736 RSD (≈ 151 €) |
| 240×140 cm | 3.36 m² | 23,727 RSD (≈ 202 €) |
The price includes VAT and includes installation of the shutter. The drive (motor, remote control) is priced separately according to the type and the size, and it goes into the same quote.
Window and shutter together — an example
On a 140×140 cm opening in VEKA 70: the window is 31,127 RSD (≈ 265 €) excluding installation, installation of the window is 6,930 RSD (≈ 59 €) at 3,524 RSD/m² (≈ 30 €/m²) of opening, and the shutter including installation is 13,860 RSD (≈ 118 €) — 51,917 RSD (≈ 442 €) in total, including VAT.
The example also shows a rule from experience: on a standard residential opening, the shutter adds between a third and a half of the price of the position itself.
| Item | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| VEKA 70 window, 140×140 | 1 position | 31,127 RSD (≈ 265 €) |
| Window installation | 1.96 m² × 3,524 RSD/m² (≈ 30 €/m²) | 6,930 RSD (≈ 59 €) |
| Shutter including installation | 1.96 m² × 7,048 RSD/m² (≈ 60 €/m²) | 13,860 RSD (≈ 118 €) |
| Total | 51,917 RSD (≈ 442 €) |
If an insect screen goes with the shutter: a roller screen is 4,111 RSD/m² (≈ 35 €/m²), a pleated screen 5,286 RSD/m² (≈ 45 €/m²), both including installation. How to choose them: roller shutters and insect screens. A whole flat with the equipment: replacing the windows in a flat.

7,048 RSD (≈ 60 €) per m², including installation and including VAT. The size is taken from the opening the shutter covers.
How much does a PVC window with a roller shutter cost?
On a 140×140 cm opening in VEKA 70: the window is 31,127 RSD (≈ 265 €), installation is 6,930 RSD (≈ 59 €), and the shutter including installation is 13,860 RSD (≈ 118 €) — 51,917 RSD (≈ 442 €) in total, including VAT.
Is installation of the shutter included in the price?
Yes. 7,048 RSD (≈ 60 €) per m² includes installation. For the windows it is the other way round — window prices exclude installation, which is charged at 3,524 RSD (≈ 30 €) per m² of opening.
How much does an insect screen cost with a roller shutter?
A roller insect screen is 4,111 RSD (≈ 35 €) per m², and a pleated screen is 5,286 RSD (≈ 45 €) per m², both including installation.
How much extra are motorised roller shutters?
The drive is priced separately, according to the type of motor and the size of the shutter, and it goes into the same quote. Power has to be brought to the box before installation — running a cable afterwards means chasing the wall.
Can a roller shutter be added to an existing window?
It can, but it costs more and works less well. The box then takes glass height or sits across the façade, and it needs a second visit and a second installation. That is why the shutter is ordered with the window.
