Alderley Edge · Hallway Shutters

The hallway spec, ordered by what matters
Every Alderley Edge hallway project we quote hinges on the same set of questions:
- Front-door glass and side-panel privacy
- High stairwell windows (safe reach)
- Landing-window heat loss above a radiator
- Matching an entrance-hall paint scheme
Painted hardwood matching skirting/architrave — the shutter joins the hall's joinery scheme rather than reading as a window covering.
Our default hallway specification
Across Alderley Edge hallways we mostly fit:
- Café-style on front-door sidelights
- Full-height on landings
- Solid-panel for a formal entrance
Café-style on front-door sidelights = privacy at street level, light above head height into the hall.
Solid-panel on the door itself keeps a period entrance formal.
