Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is a good idea 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 ensure the cut is completely straight. Scissors can be used for straight cuts as well as for cutting arcs or other shapes. Even though the mat is composed (welded) of horizontal and vertical woven artificial rattan strips 19 mm wide, the screen does not fray after cutting, nor does gradual unraveling occur.

Installing the screen

Now it's time to install the screen on the railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, carry out the installation in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and splits less. Fastening depends on the options offered by the surface, but the most common method of installation is attaching the mat with cable ties.

On the windward side, place the ties closer together - approx. 15-20 cm apart, while on the leeward side a spacing of 30-50 cm between individual ties is sufficient. Since the screen is made up of several woven strips with small gaps between them, the cable tie can be threaded anywhere across the entire surface of the screen and there is no need to perforate it. If the surface underneath the screen is made of wood or an OSB board, you can also 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 tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties are available in the traditional black color as well as in other colors. As with the screen, think in advance about the minimum length of tie you will need (e.g. according to 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 dish soap, for example, is sufficient. Since the screen's surface is very realistic, pollen or other dirt may also settle between the individual rattan strips. In this case, an ordinary dish sponge or brush is the best tool for cleaning. If the screen is placed in the garden, you can also use a hose or 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 the individual fibers together, ensuring 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 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 the effects of time, which most often manifest in natural rattan as peeling and splitting.

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

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