Before You Start

Correctly measuring your blinds ensures that they hang perfectly and are easy to install. It's worth taking the time to do this right. Our blinds look their best when they hang snugly in the frame and just avoid touching the ground or the windowsill.

⚠️ WATCH OUT FOR ANY OBSTACLES
Be aware of any obstacles that could hinder the blinds. For example, a door handle or tilt-and-turn window.

Measuring the Blind for Recess Fit (Between the Walls)

1. Take the Smallest Width

Measure the width of the frame at 3 places and take the smallest measurement. Subtract 10 millimeters from it.

2. Take the Longest Height

Measure the height of the frame at 3 places and take the longest measurement. Subtract 10 millimeters from it.

3. Enter These Measurements

The two measurements you've noted are needed. Enter these as dimensions - in millimeters - when ordering your Mr. Jealousy. These exact measurements will be produced by us.

Measuring the Blind for Face Fit (On the Frame)

1. Width Plus 10cm

You can decide the width of your blinds. It looks nice when the blinds are wider than the window. Therefore, we advise adding 10cm to the width of the window.

2. Height Plus Stack Height*

Measure the height of the frame from the bottom of the window to the top. Add the stack height to this. *The stack height is the top box plus the blinds when fully pulled up.

3. Enter These Measurements

The two measurements you've noted are needed. Enter these as dimensions - in millimeters - when ordering your Mr. Jealousy. These exact measurements will be produced by us.

⚠️ PAY ATTENTION TO THE STACK HEIGHT
Take into account the stack height when mounting. Read below which stack height applies to you.

The blind inside the frame (Recess fit)

1. Positioning the brackets

Place the brackets 7.5 cm from the corner in the frame and screw them in tightly. With more than 2 brackets, distribute them evenly at your discretion. Just make sure the brackets don't press on the mechanism or the spool in the top box.

⚠️ BUT BE CAREFUL!
Always check at the top of the box if the bracket is not on the control or spool. If it is, move the bracket a bit towards the center.

2. Clicking in the brackets

Place the top box in the brackets. Turn the scissor support closed. *Click* and it's secure.

3. Attaching cord holders

If you want, you can attach cord holders, but it's not necessary.

The blind Face Fit

1. Marking

Hold your blinds above the window and mark the ends with a pencil.

2. Positioning the brackets

Place the bracket 7.5 cm next to your freshly made mark, taking into account the maximum height of your blinds. With more than 2 brackets, distribute them evenly at your discretion. You can do it, we're sure of it.

⚠️ PAY ATTENTION
Always check at the top of the box if the bracket is not on the control or spool. If it is, move the bracket a bit.

3. Securing the top box

Place the top box in the brackets. Turn the scissor support closed. *Click* and it's secure.

4. Attaching cord holders

If you want, you can attach cord holders, but it's not necessary.

Side guidance

If you've ordered Mr. Jealousy's with side guidance, you'll find 4 extra plastic supports in the box including a guide wire. Use the L-shaped supports if you want to mount your blinds on the frame, i.e., 'Face fit'. The smaller supports are needed if you want to attach the blinds against the glass bead or windowsill, i.e., 'Recess fit'.

1. Placing the cord

Place the metal guide cord in the top box of the blinds and keep the spring in the middle. Thread the cord through the notch in the blinds.

2. Placing the supports

Place the supports so that the guide wire is directly under the top box.

3. Placing the locking ring

Slide the locking ring over the guide wire.

4. Adjusting the locking ring

Tighten the locking ring at the height of the bracket while slightly pulling the guide wire taut.

5. Cutting the wire

Cut off the excess wire and push the locking ring firmly into the bracket.

Mind the children

Loose cords and children are not a good combination. Children can get strangled in the pull cords. To prevent this, follow the instructions below.
- Keep all loose cords out of reach of children.
- Place beds, cribs, or other furniture away from the window.
- Do not tie cords together. Ensure there are no loops in the cords and that they do not get tangled.
- All our blinds come with a Child Safety system.
Slat Size

Slat Size.

The broader your slats, the more natural light can filter in, and you'll have a clearer view of the outside. Narrower slats are typically better suited for smaller windows.

For wooden blinds, we exclusively provide the 50mm slat width. It's the most popular and aesthetically pleasing size for wooden blinds, chosen by many.

50mm

25mm
Placement

Placement Face or Recess Fit

Placement Recess Fit

When a blind is set up for Recess Fitting, it hangs between the walls or window frames. Typically, the sides are not visible in this setup, allowing for a more tailored and customized appearance.

Placement Face Fit

In the case of Face Fitting, the blind hangs in front of the window frame, wall, or ceiling. Here, the sides of the blind are usually visible, offering a different aesthetic compared to Recess Fitting.
Ladder Cord and Tape

Ladder cord & tape.

Ladder cords

When you opt for ladder cords, you have the choice of matching colors or black and white. Blinds with ladder cords offer a contemporary appearance and allow the most light to filter through.

Ladder tape

Ladder tapes are decorative fabric strips with a 25mm width. They drape over the perforation holes, concealing them from view. We typically select the color that best matches your blinds by default, but you're welcome to opt for black or white if you prefer.

Selecting ladder tapes not only adds a decorative touch but also enhances light-blocking properties. Please note that ladder tapes are only available for blinds with a slat width of 50mm.
Controls

Control Side.

With our blinds, you can choose from different control sides. We explain here what the differences are and when to choose which option.

Shared Control

In most cases, shared control is the best choice. This means that you lift on the left side and tilt on the right side. This works well for single windows.

⚠️ Note:
For blinds with a width under 500 mm, the controls are always separate.

Control on the Left or Right

If you want to hang multiple blinds next to each other, then choose, for example, the control on the left or right side, so that there are no cords visible in front of the window.

Example of Two Windows Side by Side

If you have two windows next to each other, choose the control on the left side for the left window and on the right side for the right window.

Example of Three Windows Side by Side

If you have three windows next to each other, choose the control on the left side for the left window, shared control for the middle window, and control on the right side for the right window.

Tilting with Cord or Wand

For 50 mm blinds, both tilting and lifting are controlled with a cord. For 25 mm blinds, tilting is done with a transparent wand.
Top bar and bottom bar
Top rail & bottom rail.

Blinds always have a top rail & bottom rail. In most cases this is the same color as the chosen slat color. However, there are a number of exceptions.

Wooden blinds.

Wooden blinds always have the same top rail and bottom rail.

We always supply a cover strip and bottom rail in the chosen wood color and finish to your Mr. Jealousy. So there will be no color difference.

Covering Strip
When it comes to the cover strip for face fitting, it wraps around the front and sides of the headrail, concealing it nicely. However, for recess fitting, it only covers the front of the headrail.

Aluminum blinds.

As for aluminum blinds, they typically come with a top and bottom bar that matches the slat color. If that's not possible, we'll provide a shade that complements it well.

Don't fret; when you hang or pull down the blinds, the lighting will create a pleasing overall look.

If you think a black or white top bar and bottom bar would better suit your window frames or interior, you have that option too. The black top bar is available in Drop Black, and the white top bar is in Looks Like 9010.
Cutout

Cutout for baseboards and obstacles

Are you going for blinds inside the frame that go all the way to the floor? Or is part of your frame tiled? In that case, your blinds might not fit or align perfectly in your frame.

To fix this, you can add a cutout at the bottom of your blinds. This way, the lower part neatly fits between the baseboards or tiles. Nice and clean.

Simply enter the width and height of the baseboard, tile, or obstacle, and indicate whether it should be cut out on the left, right, or both sides.

Side guidance

Side Guidance Keeps the Blind in Place.

All our blinds can be equipped with side guidance. Side guidance is particularly useful for doors or windows that can be opened, such as tilt-and-turn windows. But it's also handy in frames where windows are often left open. The blinds stay neatly in place when you open the window or in windy conditions. This is thanks to a tensioned steel wire along the sides of the blinds.

In most cases, we recommend choosing 25 mm blinds for side guidance on tilt-and-turn windows. If you have enough space or want to secure the blinds in or on the frame, then 50 mm blinds are of course a great choice. However, make sure that your window can still turn smoothly.

Measuring face fit (on the moving window)

1. Measure the width.

Measure from the inside handle to the outer edge of the frame.

2. Measure the height.

Measure from the top of the frame to the bottom of the frame. You don't need to consider the package height.

3. Enter these measurements.

The two measurements you've noted are needed. Enter them as dimensions - in millimeters - when ordering your Mr. Jealousy. These exact measurements will be produced by us.

Measuring recess fit (against the glass, between the glass beads)

1. Measure the width.

Measure the width of the window. Subtract 10 mm from this. Make sure you have enough space/depth in the glass bead to mount your bracket.

2. Measure the height.

Measure the height of the window. Subtract 10 mm from this.

3. Enter these measurements.

The two measurements you've noted are needed. Enter them as dimensions - in millimeters - when ordering your Mr. Jealousy. These exact measurements will be produced by us.

Mounting Side Guidance

If you've ordered the Mr. Jealousy's with side guidance, you'll find 4 extra plastic brackets in the box including a guide wire. The L-shaped brackets are intended for mounting on the frame, so 'on the day'. The smaller brackets are needed if you want to fix the blinds on the glass bead or windowsill, so 'inside the day'.

1. Place the cord.

Insert the metal guide cord into the top box of the blinds and keep the spring in the middle. Thread the cord through the notches on both sides of the blinds.

2. Place the brackets.

Position the brackets so that the guide wire is directly below the top box.

3. Place the locking ring.

Slide the locking ring onto the guide wire.

4. Adjust the locking ring.

Tighten the locking ring at the height of the brackets while slightly tensioning the guide wire.

5. Trim the wire.

Trim the excess wire and slide the locking ring into the brackets. If the wire feels a bit slack, adjust the locking ring until it feels tight enough.
