Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is a good idea to measure the balcony or fence so you don't buy unnecessarily more material (or you can return it to us - up to 100 years later).

In most cases, you will need to shorten or adjust the mat in some way. Ordinary office scissors or a utility knife will be handy for this. When cutting, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to make the cut completely straight. You can use scissors both for a straight cut and for cutting arcs 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 after cutting, nor does it gradually unravel.

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 less likely to split. Fixing varies depending on the possibilities 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, 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 whole surface of the screen and there is no need to pierce it. If the surface of the screen is wood or OSB board, you can use a staple gun, screws or nails for fastening. You can find a detailed guide at this link.

Neighbour's tip: When buying cable ties, try to match the colour of the screen and the ties as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be bought in the traditional black colour as well as in other colour 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 of common dust, washing it with lukewarm water with a bit of washing-up liquid, such as Jar, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other impurities may settle 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 colour-stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (also known as synthetic rattan, polyrattan or technorattan) using a technology that welds the individual fibres together, ensuring the material does not fray when shaped. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mould, dirt and water. It has good 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 appear on 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. Furthermore, the material is fully recyclable and therefore has 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 colour shades of mats that will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the full range of coloured mats in the image below.
