What this means for your home
Pick Balmoral when one color has to run through the house in two opacities: blackout in the bedrooms, light filtering in the living room, no visible change of fabric.
The light-filtering weave passes 6% to 47% of visible light by color (Jet 6%, White 47%), so a dark Balmoral LF gives real glare control while a white one glows.
PVC-free and GREENGUARD certified, which matters in a nursery or a sealed new build.

Questions
Balmoral, answered
What is the difference between Balmoral light filtering and blackout?
Same yarn and color; the blackout version adds an acrylic foam coating that stops all light (Tv 0%) and nearly doubles the weight, 390 against 220 g/m².
How much light does Balmoral light filtering let through?
Texstyle publishes visible transmittance by color: White 47%, Pearl 47%, Birch 39%, Concrete 34%, Dove 21%, Pyrite 15%, Steel 11%, Bourneville 9%, Jet 6%.
Is Balmoral fire rated?
Texstyle publishes compliance with Australian building classes; a US NFPA 701 result is not published on the pages Rolli could verify. Ask Rolli for the current certificate before specifying it commercially.
Is it washable?
Vacuum or wipe with a soft cloth. It is a stiffened polyester, not a vinyl, so do not soak it.
