A product unsuitable for the window
Large panes, gables, roof glazing and unusual shapes need a properly surveyed system designed for their dimensions and movement.
Automated blinds Devon & Cornwall
Made-to-measure blinds that respond to the light, room and view.
As South Devon affiliates for Appeal Shading, we arrange surveys for bespoke manual and automated blinds across South Devon and Cornwall. Fabric, mechanism, control and installation are selected around the window and what the room genuinely needs.

Designed around the result
The right blind should solve more than privacy.
Large glazing, unusual shapes, strong coastal light and changing room use require more than a standard product. The mechanism, fabric openness, thermal qualities and control method all affect comfort and the finished appearance.
Glare and overheating
Suitable solar fabrics and automatic movement can moderate intense light and heat while still retaining useful daylight and an outward view.
Fading floors and furnishings
Timely shading helps protect flooring, carpets, upholstery, furniture and artwork from prolonged direct sunlight.
Automation with no intelligence
Blinds can respond to light level, heat, occupancy and room profiles while retaining obvious local and manual override controls.
Appeal Shading affiliate
Surveyed for the window, specified for the way the room is used.
Appeal blinds are made to measure in the UK and professionally installed, with a five-year guarantee. The range covers sheer solar control, blackout and privacy, honeycomb performance fabrics and specialist solutions for difficult glazing.
Automated blinds can operate independently or coordinate with lighting and a wider home-control system. As daylight changes, the system can balance shading and electric light to maintain the chosen room level instead of treating each product separately.

- Specialist triangular and gable-window blinds
- Automated and matching manual options
- Integration with Nice Home Control, Somfy and compatible systems

From first conversation to handover
A professional installation, planned as one complete project.
- 01
Initial shading survey
We assess the glazing, room use, access, light direction, privacy, fabric requirement and whether manual or automated operation is most suitable.
- 02
Product and fabric selection
The blind type, performance fabric, colour, mechanism, power and control method are agreed around the practical and visual result.
- 03
Made-to-measure manufacture
The selected Appeal product is produced for the surveyed opening rather than adjusted from a standard off-the-shelf size.
- 04
Expert fitting and integration
The blinds are fitted, travel is checked and any local, sensor-based or wider home-control operation is configured and demonstrated.

Useful questions
Before your project begins.
Do I need to be an existing South Devon AV customer?+
No. Existing AV customers—or customers buying blinds with a control system—may qualify for a 20% saving. Standalone blind, awning or pergola referrals may qualify for a 10% saving, subject to product eligibility, survey and current terms.
Can automated blinds work when nobody is home?+
Yes. Suitable controls can use light, heat, time, weather and occupancy information to protect the room automatically. Local controls and manual overrides remain available.
Can a sheer blind reduce light without losing the view?+
Yes. An appropriately selected openness factor can reduce glare and the strongest solar effects while retaining an outward view. The correct fabric depends on orientation, privacy and the level of protection required.
Do you offer blinds for triangular gable windows?+
Yes. Appeal provides specialist made-to-measure systems for large gable and unusually shaped glazing. These require an accurate survey because the shaped and rectangular sections must align and travel correctly.
