Roller Blinds
Additional Information
Reverse rolling the fabric
Standard
Roller blinds can have the fabric rolled onto the tube in two directions. The first is referred to as a
‘standard’ roll. This will place the fabric closest to the window or wall so that it comes down at the
back of the tube. This is typically used with blackout blinds when they are mounted outside of a
recess, the standard roll meaning that there is less light leakage.
Reverse
The second method is referred to as a ‘reverse’ roll, which places the fabric so that it comes down at
the front of the tube, effectively hiding the roll. This method will allow clearance behind the fabric, for
window handles and other obstructions, if you’re mounting the blind inside a recess.
If you wish to change the roll method then it’s easy; simply pull
the back of the chain to lower the blind, and continue pulling
until the metal tube is exposed. Keep going and the blind will
begin to raise, with the fabric now rolling up over the front of
the roller tube. Note that
this will reverse the direction you
must pull the chain for raising and lowering the blind
(you’ll
now use the front of the chain to lower and the back of the
chain to raise).
