What does it cost to hang blinds?
The costs for hanging a blind average between €150 and €700 for a complete installation, including product and labour. The blind itself varies from €90 to €600, depending on the dimensions (100-300 cm wide) and the material (aluminium or wood). The installation costs are added to this and amount to €75 to €100 per blind.
Overview of costs for hanging blinds
| Component | Costs | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Size and material | €90 to €600 per blind | Width 100-300 cm, wood or aluminium |
| Installation | €75 to €100 per blind | Price drops for multiple blinds |
The installation costs decrease when you have several blinds hung at the same time, because the professional can work more efficiently. The hourly rate of a connected professional starts from €55 per hour. For a standard blind, the installation usually takes between 45 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the complexity and the type of attachment.
Price examples for complete installation
| Description | Total price including installation |
|---|---|
| Aluminium blind 100x100 cm, slat 16 mm | €300 |
| Aluminium blind 300x100 cm, slat 50 mm | €250 |
| Wooden blind 200 cm wide, slat 50 mm | €400 |
The total price for having a blind hung depends heavily on the combination of dimensions and material. A wider blind with larger slats costs more to purchase, but the installation rate remains similar. A wooden blind is on average more expensive than aluminium due to the material and weight. All mentioned prices include 21% VAT and are based on previously performed jobs via the platform. These are indicative prices; the final costs are determined by the professional who carries out the job.
Costs of blinds by material and size
The costs for hanging blinds depend heavily on the material (aluminium or wood), the width of the blind and the slat width. Aluminium blinds are cheaper than wooden variants, while wider blinds and wider slats cost more. Below you can see what different configurations cost, excluding installation.
Aluminium blinds (100 cm high, excluding installation)
| Width of blind | Slat 16 mm | Slat 25 mm | Slat 50 mm | Slat 70 mm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 cm | €90-€100 | €80-€150 | €150-€150 | €150-€200 |
| 200 cm | €150-€150 | €100-€200 | €150-€200 | €250-€350 |
| 300 cm | €250-€300 | €200-€350 | €200-€250 | €300-€500 |

| Width of blind | Slat 25 mm | Slat 50 mm | Slat 70 mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 cm | €150-€200 | €150-€200 | €200-€250 |
| 200 cm | €250-€350 | €350-€450 | €250-€400 |
| 300 cm | N/A | €350-€550 | €450-€800 |
Price-determining factors for hanging blinds
The costs for hanging blinds vary per situation. Several factors determine how much you eventually pay: from the type of material to the complexity of the installation. Below you can read which aspects influence the price.
- Material: Aluminium blinds are cheaper than wooden variants. Aluminium is lighter, easier to process and requires less time during installation. The material is heat-reflective and offers precise light regulation with minimal visibility. Wooden blinds are heavier, require sturdier attachment and cost more due to the higher material price. Wood does give a warm, rustic appearance and ensures soft light incidence.
- Dimensions of the blind: Larger blinds cost more than smaller formats. A blind 300 cm wide contains more material than one 100 cm wide. The height also has an influence: taller blinds mean longer slats and extra carrying weight, which translates into a higher price.
- Slat width: Wider slats are more expensive than narrow slats. Slats of 50 or 70 mm require more material than slats of 16 or 25 mm. Wider slats offer more view to the outside when they are open, but weigh more and require more robust hanging mechanisms.
- Complexity of the installation: Difficult to reach windows, high ceilings or crooked window frames require more time and expertise. The professional may need to use extra tools or make adjustments to the attachment. This leads to longer labour hours and higher costs.
- Number of blinds: With multiple blinds, the installation costs per piece decrease. The professional is already on site and can work more efficiently through economies of scale. The first blind takes the most time due to preparation and adjustment; the following ones go faster.
- Urgency or planned work: Urgent jobs are more expensive than planned work. The professional must adjust their schedule, postpone other jobs or come outside regular working hours. This leads to higher costs due to the extra flexibility requested.
- Weekend work: Working at the weekend costs more than during the week. The professional works outside their standard working week and charges a surcharge for this. If possible, plan your job on a weekday to save costs.
- Region: In large cities, prices are often higher than in rural areas. This is due to higher parking costs, longer travel times due to traffic and generally higher business costs in urban environments. The installation price can therefore vary per region.
- Condition of the window frame: A straight, sturdy window frame makes installation easier. Damaged, weathered or crooked window frames require extra work: sometimes the professional must first repair or make adjustments before the blind can be safely attached.
- Type of attachment: Attachment in the frame is faster than attachment to the wall or ceiling. With wall or ceiling mounting, the professional must first drill, place plugs and check if the substrate is strong enough. This requires more time and material.
- Preparation by the customer: A free, accessible workplace saves time. If the professional first has to move furniture or remove old window decorations, the job takes longer. Good preparation keeps the costs manageable.
- Extra wishes: Special wishes such as electric operation, integrated insect screens or different colours increase the price. These options require extra material, technology or customisation, which translates into higher total costs.
- Guarantee and service: Via Zoofy, you know in advance what you pay, without call-out charges and without surprises afterwards. All connected professionals work according to fixed rates, which offers transparency and prevents unexpected additional costs.
Additional costs and surcharges when hanging blinds
Additional costs when hanging blinds are situation-dependent. At Zoofy, you do not pay call-out charges.
| Option | Additional costs | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Different colour | 30%-40% surcharge | No standard RAL colour such as white or grey |
| Side guidance | €20 per blind | Keeps the blind in place for tilt and turn windows |
| Door clips | €10 per blind | For attachment to doors |
| Bathroom quality | €15 per blind | Moisture-resistant and rust-resistant |
| Measurement service | €50 | Professional measurement by a tradesperson |
- For urgent jobs, a surcharge often applies because the professional has to adjust their schedule.
- Work at the weekend is more expensive than during the week.
How does the professional work when hanging blinds?
- Measuring and preparation: The professional accurately measures the window (width, height, depth of frame) and determines the best attachment method. There are three options: in the frame for a sleek look, on the frame for shallow frames, or on the ceiling for high windows.
- Attaching hanging brackets: The professional marks the drilling points and attaches the hanging brackets level with a cordless drill. In case of difficult surfaces such as concrete or stone, special plugs are used to guarantee firm anchoring.
- Applying the blind: The blind is clicked or slid into the brackets. The professional checks if the attachment is secure and if the blind hangs straight.
- Adjusting and testing: The professional tests the operation (tilting the slats, moving up and down), adjusts the mechanism and checks if the slats close properly without jamming.
The installation takes on average 20-45 minutes per blind, depending on the complexity and the surface. Ensure the workspace is free and accessible so the professional can start immediately and costs remain manageable.
How can you save on hanging blinds?
- Maintenance prevents replacement: Dust blinds regularly and operate them carefully. This extends the service life and prevents expensive repairs or replacements. Small problems like a jamming mechanism can be tackled early before costs rise.
- Prepare the workspace yourself: Remove old window decorations and ensure the window is free and accessible. The professional then does not have to start by tidying up, which saves labour time and lowers the price.
- Plan smartly: Book on a weekday instead of at the weekend. Urgent jobs cost more because the professional has to adjust their schedule. Planned work keeps the costs manageable.
- Combine multiple blinds: Have all blinds hung at once. With multiple blinds, the installation costs per piece decrease because the professional can work more efficiently.
- Book via Zoofy: You get a fixed rate in advance, without call-out charges and without surprises. You only pay after the job is completed.
Common problems with blinds
Problems with blinds often have clear causes that you can recognise and prevent.
Slats do not turn properly
Dust in the mechanism or a damaged control rod ensures that slats no longer tilt smoothly. This reduces light regulation and puts extra strain on the mechanism. Regular dusting of the slats and the mechanism prevents this problem.
Mechanism jams
Worn or tangled cords and chains block operation. This happens especially with rough operation or pulling up too quickly. A jamming mechanism makes the blind unusable and can lead to breakage of parts.
Blind falls down
Attachment points come loose in case of a poor surface or overloading of the blind. Periodic checks of the brackets prevent the blind from coming loose. Ignoring small problems leads to greater damage and higher costs for repair or replacement.

Frequently asked questions about hanging blinds
What does it cost to hang blinds?
The costs for hanging a blind average between €150 and €700 for a complete installation, including product and labour. The blind itself varies from €90 to €600 depending on dimensions and material, plus €75 to €100 installation costs per blind.
How long does it take to mount a blind?
The installation takes on average 20 to 45 minutes per blind, depending on the complexity and the surface. With multiple blinds, the professional works more efficiently, reducing the time per piece.
Can I measure the blinds myself or does the professional do this?
You can measure yourself to save the €50 measurement service, but incorrect measurements mean the blinds will not fit. A professional measures accurately and prevents errors that lead to extra costs.
What happens if the blinds do not fit?
In case of incorrect sizes, you can order custom-made or return the blind. If in doubt, have a professional measure to prevent unnecessary costs and delays.
Can blinds be mounted in any type of window?
Yes, blinds are suitable for standard windows, tilt and turn windows, skylights and doors. For tilt windows, side guides (approx. €20 per blind) are recommended to keep the blind in place.
Are blinds safe for households with young children?
Control cords can pose risks. Choose cordless operation, child-safe systems or motorised blinds for optimal safety in families with children.
Which blinds are suitable for the bathroom?
Choose blinds with bathroom quality that are moisture-resistant and rust-resistant. This costs about €15 extra per blind but prevents damage due to moisture.
What is the difference between aluminium and wooden blinds?
Aluminium is cheaper, heat-reflective and offers precise light regulation. Wood is more expensive but gives a warm, rustic appearance and ensures soft light incidence.
Can old blinds be removed at the same time?
Yes, the professional can remove existing window decorations. This may cost extra labour time, so prepare the workspace where possible to limit costs.
How much do I save if I have several blinds mounted at once?
The installation costs per blind decrease for larger quantities because the professional works more efficiently. Combine all blinds in one appointment for the best rate.
