Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is advisable to measure your balcony or fence so you don't buy unnecessarily more material (or you can return it to us - even after 100 years).

In most cases, you will need to shorten or adjust the mat in some way. For this you can use ordinary office scissors or a utility knife. When cutting, it is recommended to use a level or a board to ensure a perfectly straight cut. Scissors can be used both for straight cuts and for cutting out curves or other shapes. Even though the mat is made (welded) of horizontal and vertical woven artificial rattan strips 19 mm wide, the screen does not fray or gradually unravel after cutting.

Installing the screen

Now comes the installation of the screen on the railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, carry out the installation in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and less prone to splitting. Fastening varies depending on the options offered by the surface, but the most common method of installation is attaching the mat using cable ties.

On the windward side, place the ties more densely - approx. 15-20 cm apart, on the leeward side a spacing of 30-50 cm between individual ties is sufficient. Because the screen is made of several woven strips that have small gaps between them, the cable tie can be threaded through anywhere across the entire surface of the screen, and there is no need to puncture it. If the surface of the screen is made of wood or an OSB board, you can use a staple gun or screws and nails for attachment. You can find a detailed guide HERE.

Neighbour's tip: When buying cable ties, try to match the color of the screen and the cable tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be bought in traditional black, as well as in other color variants. Just like with the screen, think in advance about the minimum length of tie you will need (e.g. based on the circumference of the post or railing).

Low-maintenance

The LEGI balcony screen is easy to use and maintain. To clean the screen from ordinary dust, washing with lukewarm water mixed with a bit of detergent, for example dish soap, is sufficient. Because the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt can settle even between the individual rattan strips. Here, an ordinary dish sponge or brush will serve you best for cleaning. If you have the screen placed in the garden, you can use a hose or a pressure washer for rinsing.

Artificial rattan

The screen is made of shape- and color-stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (also known as synthetic rattan, polyrattan or technorattan) using a technology that welds individual fibers together, which ensures that the material does not fray when shaped. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mold, dirt and water. It is tensile-strong and can be bent and cut into any desired shape. Artificial rattan is a double-sided, easy-to-clean material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, artificial rattan does not show signs of aging, which in natural rattan is most often manifested by peeling and splitting.

Artificial rattan is of course harmless to health, so there is no need to worry about the effect of harmful substances on your health. The material is also fully recyclable and thus leaves no impact on the environment. Thanks to all these properties, it stands out with a very long lifespan of up to 20 years.

The material allows you to choose from a wide range of color shades of the mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the complete range of colored mats in the image below.
