Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. We were disappointed to hear you're not 100% satisfied with the fabric you've chosen, we offer over 130 Honeycomb fabrics including blackout options and do appreciate that some lighter coloured fabrics ("Apricot", non-blackout as you've opted for) will block out less light than other darker coloured or blackout fabrics.
However we're glad to hear you're happy with the quality of your new blinds and that the motorisation is quiet and unobstrusive and we trust that your blinds will bring you much joy in the coming years!
Best wishes,
The Appeal Home Shading Team
