Standard is the most popular fabric direction. It keeps the fabric as close to the window which aids in reducing the light that can creep around the edge. The customer needs to keep in mind any handles which may stick out when using this option. Reverse: This option is ideal for a customer who doesn’t want to see any of the tube at the top of the blind. The fabric rolls from the front of the tube hiding the tube. This is good for any windows that have handles that might get in the way of the fabric.
