Common questions
Answers before you call
What does a Alderley Edge living room blind project usually cost?
£220–£420 per living-room window. Whole-room Alderley Edge projects sit inside the £4,500 – £15,000 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.
Which blinds suit a large detached living room?
Roman blinds in dressed fabric is the usual default. Roman blinds soften a bay without the bulk of full curtains.
Do you fit living room blinds in Alderley Edge?
Yes — SK9 7 are on our regular survey run. 30 min from Stockton Heath, and living rooms are one of the most-quoted rooms across Alderley Edge.
How do we handle a splay bay?
Templated on site, mitred posts, section-per-window with matching louvre lines across the whole bay. It's the single thing cheaper installers get wrong. In Alderley Edge, that's the answer for the large detacheds and Edwardian villa we survey most weeks.
Will full-height shutters make the room feel dark?
Not if the louvres open flush against the frame — a well-specified shutter loses less light than a half-drawn curtain. The key is the louvre size and how far the panels fold back. In Alderley Edge, that's the answer for the large detacheds and Edwardian villa we survey most weeks.
