Shift Workers priorities, ordered
Every shift workers survey we run in Alderley Edge lands on the same short list:
- True blackout — not "dim-out" — with sealed edges
- Reveal-fitted or side-channel systems that eliminate the light halo
- Ventilation still possible (window open behind the blackout)
- Quick single-hand operation for when you get home at 7am exhausted
- Quiet mechanism that doesn't wake the household when you close it
Our short list of products for this brief
Across Alderley Edge shift workers projects, the short list is short on purpose:
- Perfect Fit blackout roller — clips into the beading, sits flush with the glass, side halo gone
- Blockout Roman blind with side channels — softer look, same darkness
- Blackout cellular (honeycomb) blind — insulates too, useful for east-facing bedrooms
- Full-height solid shutters (no louvres) — for the client who wants the darkness and the look
The final pick depends on the room, the light and the openings — decided on the survey, not by a call-centre.
Where we've earned this pitch
The biggest complaint about shop-bought "blackout" blinds is edge leak — a fabric can be 100% opaque and the room can still be too bright to sleep. The fix is the fitting system, not the fabric grade.
"Blackout" fabric alone gets a room to about 92% dark; a Perfect-Fit or side-channelled system takes it past 99% — and it's the last 7% that decides whether you sleep.
Our process — adjusted for shift workers
The survey is different — we measure the reveal to the millimetre, check the beading depth, and specify a system that seals the light gap. We'll also demo the fabric against your bedroom window on the survey visit so you can see the actual level of darkness before ordering.
Alderley Edge survey days are grouped so travel stays tight — the workshop is 30 min from stockton heath, on the M56 J6 — 10 min corridor.
