You can choose either option. When making your purchase select your preferred fabric direction to suit your needs. Reverse roll, or under, keeps the roll hidden when the shade is drawn.

The roller blind chain should allow the blind to fully raise and lower. If the blind wont fully roll up raise the blind using the chain as far as it will go. When it reaches the point where it wont roll-up further remove the blind from the brackets, take the mechanism out of the tube and manually roll the blind all the way up. Once you have done this, put the mechanism back in and place back on the brackets. You should now be able to raise and lower the blind fully. If you still require assistance our customer service team will be happy to help.
