Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is advisable to measure the balcony or fence so that you do not buy unnecessarily more material (or you can return it to us - even after up to 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 spirit level or a board to ensure a perfectly straight cut. Scissors can be used for both straight cuts and for cutting arcs or other shapes. Even though the mat is made (welded) of horizontal and vertical woven synthetic 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, install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and splits less. The fastening method varies depending on the options the base offers, 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. Since the screen is made of several woven strips that have small gaps between them, the cable tie can be threaded anywhere across the entire surface of the screen, and it is not necessary to pierce it. If the base of the screen is made of wood or an OSB board, you can use an upholstery stapler or screws and nails for attachment. You can find a detailed guide at this link.

Neighbor's tip: When purchasing 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 the traditional black color, as well as in other color variants. Just like with the screen, plan ahead for the ties what minimum length 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 of ordinary dust, washing with lukewarm water mixed with a washing-up liquid, such as Jar, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other impurities may 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.

Synthetic rattan

The screen is made of shape- and color-stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (also known as synthetic rattan, polyrattan or technorattan) using a technology of welding individual fibers, which ensures that the material does not fray when shaped. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mold, dirt and water. It has high tensile strength and can be bent and cut into the desired shape in any way. Synthetic rattan is a double-sided, easily washable material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, synthetic rattan does not show the effects of time, which most often manifest in natural rattan through peeling and splitting.

Synthetic rattan is of course safe for 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 negative 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 mats, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the complete range of colored mats in the image below.
