Factors influencing the cost of installing shutters in Romandy

In Romandy, the budget required for the installation of shutters depends on several elements. The selected material, dimensions, technical intervention conditions, labor costs, and additional equipment can significantly affect the overall investment. Here are the main aspects to consider.

The manufacturing material

The chosen material directly impacts the price, but also the longevity, ease of maintenance, and visual appeal of the shutters.

The PVC models are among the most economical solutions. They are appealing due to their simplified maintenance, weather resistance, and accessible price, generally ranging between 330 CHF and 600 CHF per m² including VAT in Romandy.

Wood adds a warm touch and offers good natural insulation performance. However, it requires regular maintenance. In Romandy, the cost of a wooden shutter usually varies between 500 CHF and 930 CHF per m² including VAT depending on the type of wood and finish chosen.

Steel versions stand out for their strength and pronounced decorative character. Their more technical design explains prices typically ranging between 820 CHF and 1,260 CHF per m² including VAT.

Finally, aluminum represents a high-end option. Lightweight, contemporary, and corrosion-resistant, it involves a higher budget, with average prices ranging between 930 CHF and 1,480 CHF per m² including VAT.

The dimensions and complexity of the intervention

The proportions of the openings directly influence the final amount. The larger the shutter covers an area, the more material and installation time increase.

Fully customized realizations, especially for large glazed openings or openings with specific shapes, may require reinforced fastening systems or the installation of height access equipment. These technical constraints generally generate an additional cost, especially when access to the building is tricky.

The cost of installation

The installation rate varies depending on the type of shutter, the nature of the support, and the adjustments to be made. In the Swiss Romande region, the hourly rate of a qualified specialist averages between 75 CHF and 115 CHF excluding tax.

For a standard installation, labor often represents a budget between 280 CHF and 550 CHF per opening, excluding materials.

With Avenir Rénovations in Swiss Romande, you benefit from a careful intervention that meets Swiss standards, ensured by experienced professionals.

The options and additional devices

Some features can affect the total amount. A shutter equipped with a motorized system with remote control generally represents an additional cost between 380 CHF and 1,020 CHF depending on the chosen technology.

The integration of enhanced security elements, such as multipoint systems or anti-intrusion protections, can increase the overall cost by about 10% to 15%.

Specific finishes like custom powder coating, bespoke colors, coordinated handles, or advanced anti-corrosion treatment also incur extra costs but enhance the durability and aesthetics of the whole.

The geographical situation and administrative requirements

The location of the site can also influence the budget. Interventions in densely urban areas are often easier to organize, while isolated areas may incur higher travel costs.

In Swiss Romande, some municipalities impose specific requirements regarding the appearance of facades. Depending on the context, especially in protected areas or co-ownership, prior authorization may be required, which can extend deadlines and generate additional administrative procedures.
