Customer saving
For existing South Devon AV customers, or when Appeal shading is purchased alongside a South Devon AV control system.

Control the light. Keep the view.
Bespoke shading should feel designed with the building—not added after it. We survey, specify and coordinate manual and automated solutions for windows, glazing and outdoor living.
Room sensorFull daylight
Automatic solar protection
See how the room responds.
Choose a light level. A suitable sheer fabric reduces glare and solar gain while allowing the coastal view to remain part of the room.
Enjoy the view
The blind stays discreetly out of sight while the room is comfortable and direct sunlight is not causing a problem.
Blinds + lightingOne target light level. Two systems working together.
A control system can balance daylight and electric lighting automatically: lowering shades and dimming lights—or raising both as conditions change. With suitable tunable lighting, colour temperature can also follow the chosen room profile.
Try the light levels
Use the three controls above to move the blind and see how automated shading protects the room.

Difficult shapes deserve a proper solution
Gable windows become a feature—not a problem.
Large triangular and double-height glazing can be difficult to shade well. Bespoke systems follow the architecture closely, provide useful solar and privacy control and preserve the impact of the window.
- Made to the individual window geometry
- Manual and powered options where appropriate
- Sheer, pleated and performance fabric choices
- Surveyed for clean alignment and dependable movement
Fabric selected for the job
Privacy, protection and comfort are not the same thing.
We help match the fabric and operating method to what each room genuinely needs.
Sheer solar fabrics
Reduce glare and the strongest solar effects while retaining an outward view and useful natural light.
Blackout & privacy
For bedrooms, cinema spaces and rooms where light exclusion or privacy matters more than maintaining the view.
Honeycomb performance
Cellular construction can improve thermal performance and provide useful sound dampening—not soundproofing.
Manual to match
Not every blind needs a motor. Manual blinds can share fabrics and detailing with automated blinds elsewhere in the property.
What you shouldn’t have to put up with
A blind should solve the window—not create another problem.
The problems
The wrong blind for the window
Large panes, roof glazing and unusual shapes need a properly surveyed product—not a compromise made to fit.
Poor fitting and untidy details
A beautiful fabric cannot rescue inaccurate measurements, exposed mechanisms or a blind that does not run correctly.
Fading interiors
Appropriate solar fabrics help protect flooring, furniture, artwork, carpets and upholstery from prolonged direct sunlight.
Automation without intelligence
Motorisation should respond sensibly to light, heat and occupancy while retaining an obvious manual override.
Haus & Brunel awnings
More usable time outside.
The Appeal Haus range and Brunel awnings extend the comfort of terraces and gardens. Available sensing can respond to sun, wind and rain—providing shade when useful and helping retract the awning when conditions become unsuitable.
- Made-to-measure Haus and Brunel awnings
- Weather-aware protection
- Optional lighting and heating
- Integrated control where appropriate
