What actually matters in a bedroom
Every Runcorn 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

Our default bedroom specification
Across Runcorn 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.
