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.

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.
