A major advantage is that you can position the roller blind at any height on the window, covering only the part that causes glare.

For a home office, partial coverage often provides the best balance of light.

Usually, regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment or wiping with a dry, soft cloth is sufficient.

Dust visibility depends on the fabric color and room conditions.

The price depends on the window size, the specific roller blind model, and the selected color group. The best way to check the price is to select the exact size in the product configurator.

VELUX RHL and RFL roller blinds have identical translucent fabric, but they differ in mounting and adjustment method.

RHL is mounted on hooks and has 3 fixed stopping positions (1/3 height, 2/3 height, full window coverage). This makes it simpler and less expensive to install.

RFL moves in side channels and stops smoothly at any height, offering more flexibility but requiring precise window matching.

Choose RHL for simple installation and basic positions. Choose RFL when you want precise height adjustment and have side channels on your window.
