I have an unusual application. I love my window in my bathroom, but after showering, I have to squeegee the window dry every time to prevent spotting. So I am using the Jakooz roll up curtain against the outside wall to keep the window dry during showering. For this application, I wanted to reverse the roll in the unit so that the smooth side would still face into the shower area while the face of the unit is still toward the room. Easy to do by removing the roll, flipping it end to end, and reinstalling it in the unit. I left a small gap behind the unit for easy operation of the spring-loaded mounting brackets. Now I simply let the curtain dry and roll it up out of sight when not in use. Perfect solution!
