Would you believe us if we told you that the reverse roll came about because of a clash between aesthetics and nature!
Standard roll shades rose to popularity in the 1950s. During this time, air conditioning was a bit of a luxury. The typical home in the 50s didn’t have AC. Homeowners would leave their windows open for extended periods to cool down the house and dust would accumulate on the shade and leave a very unpleasant, visible layer of dust on the fabric. Because of this, the reverse roll emerged.
We’re in a different time now. We’ve got AC, filtration and options. TWO offers both the standard and reverse roll, as well as decorative cassette covers to protect your shades from any unwanted dust. If you still prefer the open roll cassette, maybe knowing the history behind the changes will aid you in your decision. Either choice you make, we’ve got what you’re looking for.
