Automatic blinds

Choosing the right window styling for your home is important for those finishing design touches, but did you know it can also protect your furnishings from potentially damaging UV rays, reduce unwanted glare, and even offer security benefits when you’re away from home?

We’re proud to partner with Appeal Home Shading, a well-established manufacturer with over 30 years of experience in the bespoke window shading market. With an unparalleled commitment to customer service and attention to detail in every aspect of the manufacturing process, Appeal pride themselves on their level of service from initial design consultation to expert installation.

Their wide range of blinds features roller, pleated, thermal honeycomb, roman, venetian (wooden and aluminium) and Finestra options. They also offer specially engineered ClearView solutions for gable end windows and lantern roofs – allowing you to maintain your view unobstructed by support wires.

Appeal Home Shading offers a multitude of window styling options in a wide choice of fabrics and designs; conservatory and orangery blinds, wooden window shutters, bespoke treatments and even high-quality retractable insect screens.

We will be offering the entire Appeal Home Shading range and, in particular, their award-winning ULTRA® Smart Blinds, fully compatible with Loxone.

ULTRA® Smart Blinds give a wire-free powered solution and are designed for ultimate convenience and performance. Enhanced with the ULTRA® PLUS system, your blinds can be controlled via your Loxone app on your smartphone or tablet. You can even give a simple voice command to control them via Amazon Alexa or Google Home.

Incorporating a discreet and quiet motor within the headrail, the ULTRA® range is powered by an energy-efficient li-ion battery that needs recharging just once a year. The self-contained product means there is no need to install unsightly trunking to hide wires and ensures installation is fuss-free, neat and efficient.

Controlling your blinds couldn’t be easier; they can be operated in groups or individually through hand-held remote, with light and temperature sensors, via the app or through your home automation system.

Working in partnership with Appeal, we establish the individual requirements of the project and the bespoke blinds are then specified and designed to ensure they have the appropriate motor system and wiring to integrate seamlessly with the home.

Appeal will take care of the whole process in finding the right solution for you. From initial design consultation and measuring to the skilful technical survey and installation – you will be given expert support throughout.

AWNINGS

Enhance your outdoor space with a precision German-engineered Haus Awning from Appeal Home Shading. Versatile and functional both day and night, the Haus awning features innovative touches such as built in, dimmable LED lighting and infrared heating. The clever design allows control by intelligent weather sensors. These sensors will automatically extend the awning to give shade when the sun’s out and retract the awning if there are strong winds. The Haus Awning can be operated by remote control or via the Loxone app for your smartphone or tablet (manual options are also available).

For bay windows and unusual shapes, there are shutters to suit. Their comprehensive range is offered in a variety of colours and finishes with the option to custom colour to an exact shade.
