After completing a new build in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand we soon realised that unless we found a solution to block the sun during the hottest time of the day in our lounge and bedroom, that it was going to make for uncomfortable living.
We have large apex windows, high up in both rooms and realised that blinds were the obvious option. As we had not run power cables to these areas, solar powered, battery-operated apex blinds were our only option.
After a great deal of research, we discovered that the only company that could satisfy all of our requirements was on the other side of the world in the UK.
We were a little concerned about purchasing a product that required such precise measurements from so far away, but we contacted Lindsay Lyle and the team at Sona Shades and our minds were quickly put at ease.
Lindsay is a fantastic communicator, and his response time was exceptional. His knowledge of the product is outstanding.
Lindsay arranged the freight and insurance and our blinds arrived on time and they are now installed.
They look fantastic and they have dramatically improved our living experience.
We greatly thank Lindsay and the team at Sona Shades for their help, expertise and for providing us with such amazing blinds.
We had a great experience dealing with Sona Shades and would highly recommend them to anybody, even if you’re on the other side of the world.

Fabulous Apex blinds delivered and fitted for our gable end. Fit, performance and overall look is really first class. Team at Sona gave really amazing support for issue update, progress and solving some issues we had given the complexity and difficulty of the project in a reasonable time
Sona provided excellent after purchase service, even long distance (international) is a video call! They managed to fix my problem quickly and efficiently and with great professionalism. I can highly recommend their group and their superb power blind systems.
Sonablinds were excellent throughout. I needed a blind for a kitchen skyroof window (very awkward to access) after realising how hot the room was getting in summer. They gave really thoughtful guidance on the best design and functionality, took exact measurements on site, and completed the installation quickly and professionally. It looks great and works perfectly. Would absolutely use them again.
I`ve been looking for a shading solution for apex windows for many years and really pleased to have found Sona who have developed a well designed system I can confidently recommend. Quality manufacturing coupled with solid support (both tech & sales) makes Sona my "Go-To" apex blind supplier!
We have had first class service throughout the process of buying the blinds for our large Apex window to their installation. We are absolutely delighted with them. They have transformed the window. Previously we had vertical blinds and very bulky curtains due to the width of the window. Now we have a wonderful streamlined set of blinds.Sam and his team have been great throughout. They have been very helpful, efficient and professional. We would not hesitate to use the company again and heartily recommend it.
We live in France and bought 6 bespoke blinds for some triangle shaped windows. 4 of the blinds were lost in transit. Sona were let down big time by the delivery partner here in France - it was a nightmare. Sona took on all the admin headache and at the same time, manufactured new blinds. They could not have been more helpful or communicative. Amazing customer service is hard to come by these days. Sona are the real deal. I had dealings with Lewis in their customer service team (who was so, so helpful) right up to the owner Sam. Thank you so much. It's when things go wrong that you really get to see what a company is all about. And Sona are about delivering an exceptional customer service. We haven't even fitted the blinds yet, so I'm hoping i’ll be leaving another review here once that’s done! Nonetheless I felt compelled to tell my story….Jim (Annecy, France)
Great product. Flexible to needs, helpful sales advice and technical staff. We took on a self measure, self install, on 3 x 4.5m W x 3.5m H, 4 strip, Gable Windows. It was a daunting proposition. However, with a bit of advice and encouragement, plus clear and concise measurement and installation videos, and the measuring check app, we have an excellent end result.The blinds look fabulous and operate smoothly. We are very happy with the outcome.
In early 2025 we moved into a house in the Lake District with a large apex window offering a beautiful view marred by old flappy office type blinds.We needed something better and were delighted to discover the perfect solution in Sona Shades.The sales and estimating team were helpful and proactive and we are delighted with the finished result. It is now a joy to wake up in the morning and press the neat controller and have the blinds swiftly and quietly open and almost disappear, ditto at bedtime in the opposite direction.We can now sleep at night in the summer months with long daylight hours as the blackout material really does what it says.
