  • Roll:
    NORMAL ROLL: Fabric falls to back of roller (BQ standard).
    REVERSE ROLL: Fabric falls to front of roller, covering roller tube. This option is also known as a front roll or over roll and is not recommended when blind is installed in window recess due to fabric fading or where blind is face fixed and exposed to direct sunlight (ie: north or west facing windows). Also please note some fabrics are difficult to reverse roll.
