The bedroom spec, ordered by what matters

Every Appleton bedroom project we quote hinges on the same set of questions:

  • Real blackout for morning sleep
  • Quiet operation with a partner still asleep
  • Cold-window heat loss in winter
  • Safety around cots and toddler beds

Painted hardwood — best acoustic dampening of street noise and lets you match the skirting/architrave colour precisely.

What we usually specify

Across Appleton bedrooms we mostly fit:

  • Full-height with rear blackout blind combo
  • Tier-on-tier for bay bedrooms
  • Solid-panel shutters (very rare)

Louvred shutters alone are 90–95% blackout — pair with a slimline blackout blind behind the panel for true 100%.

Full-height with a hidden mid-rail lets you open the top for ventilation while the bottom stays closed for privacy.

Specification evidence

What we check before pricing a WA4 4 project

Reveal depth, sash hardware, panel span and daily privacy needs are measured in person. That is why the usual Appleton project sits around £3,500 – £8,000, rather than being forced into a generic online estimate.
