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. Ordinary office scissors or a utility knife will do the job. When cutting, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to make the cut completely straight. Scissors can be used for straight cuts as well as for cutting arcs or other shapes. Even though the mat is made (welded) of horizontal and vertical woven strips of synthetic rattan 19 mm wide, the screen does not fray or gradually unravel after cutting.

Installing the screen

Now comes the installation of the screen on a railing, fence or balcony. It is ideal to install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and less prone to splitting. The fastening method varies depending on the options offered by the surface, but the most common installation method is attaching the mat using cable ties.

On the windward side, place the ties more densely - approximately 15-20 cm apart, while on the leeward side a spacing of 30-50 cm between the ties is sufficient. Since the screen is made of several woven strips with 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 an upholstery stapler or screws and nails for fastening. You can find a detailed guide at this link.

Neighbor'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 purchased in the traditional black color, as well as in other color variants. As 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).

Easy maintenance

The LEGI balcony screen is easy to use and maintain. To clean the screen from common dust, washing it with lukewarm water and a bit of washing-up liquid, such as Jar, is enough. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other impurities may also settle between the individual rattan strips. In this case, an ordinary dish sponge or brush works 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 during shaping. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mold, dirt and water. It has high tensile strength and can be bent and cut into any desired shape. Synthetic rattan is a double-sided, easy-to-clean material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, synthetic rattan does not show signs of wear over time, which is most commonly manifested in natural rattan by peeling and splitting.

Synthetic rattan is of course health-safe, so there is no need to worry about the effects 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.
