Description

Flow 5% Sunscreen Roller Blinds — Soluna™

Overview

Flow 5% sunscreen roller blinds from the Soluna range — an affordable imported sunscreen option that filters UV and reduces glare while keeping your outward view. The 5% openness factor blocks 95% of UV radiation and significantly reduces heat gain, making them ideal for living rooms, offices and sun-facing windows.

Every Flow sunscreen blind is custom-made to your exact window measurements.

Key features

Part of the Soluna range by Norman, the Flow combines quality manufacturing with a wide fabric selection. The 5% openness is the most popular choice for residential applications — enough to see out during the day while providing effective daytime privacy. Innovative lift systems including chain-driven, cordless and motorised options. Child safe and eco-friendly.

Flow sunscreen roller blinds are a practical choice for privacy blinds in living rooms — the mesh fabric blocks direct sightlines from the street while allowing you to see out.

Manufactured by Norman with a 5-year NQA guarantee. 100% PVC-free residential fabrics. Over 250 colour and fabric combinations. Available lift systems: chain-driven, cordless PrecisionLift and motorised AutoWand. Motorisation available from $90. Child and pet safe.

Motorised roller blinds are available from just $90 extra — choose AutoWand rechargeable motorisation for cord-free, app-compatible operation. Ideal as electric blinds for hard-to-reach windows or smart home integration.

Measure your window, choose your fabric and lift system, and order online. Custom-made and delivered throughout New Zealand.

Measuring & Installing Guides

Have a question about Norman Roller Shades (blinds)?

A 5% openness factor means 5% of the fabric surface is open weave. This lets filtered light and a view through the blind while blocking 95% of UV rays. It is the most popular openness for residential living rooms and home offices.

Soluna™ is NZ Blinds’ imported blind range. These products are manufactured overseas and offer the same quality construction at a lower price point compared to NZ-made options.

Both are sunscreen roller blinds, but the Dakota is NZ-made with a premium woven fabric and 3-year warranty. The Flow is an imported alternative at a lower price with a 5-year warranty. Performance is similar — the main difference is fabric texture, price and warranty length.

Yes. All Soluna (imported) roller blinds can be upgraded to motorised operation. The AutoWand option adds a built-in rechargeable motor from $90 — no electrical wiring needed. For NZ-made rollers, battery-powered and hardwired 230v motorisation options are also available. Motorised blinds are ideal for hard-to-reach windows, large openings and smart home setups.

Blinds ordered at separate times may not colour match perfectly. We strongly recommend that all blinds for one room are ordered at the same time.
Blinds between 6sqm & 8sqm are more difficult to operate. They may be hard to lift & lower for users who are not physically strong. Roller tube deflection & fabric bagging may also be an issue.
Blinds over 8sqm are not within warranty. The tube will deflect and the fabric will bag. We recommend using a Link Bracket.
Mechanisms & Brackets– matched to fabric
Bottom rails – Soluna standard is for wrapped bottom rail.
Cordless – Soluna conrtrol is cordless or motorised.
