Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is advisable to measure your balcony or fence so that you don't 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. Ordinary office scissors or a utility knife will work for this. When cutting, it is recommended to use a 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 composed (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 it's time to install the screen on the railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more flexible and less prone to splitting. The attachment method varies depending on the options the surface offers, 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, on the leeward side a spacing of 30-50 cm between individual ties is sufficient. Since the screen is composed 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 punch holes in it. If the surface is made of wood or OSB board, a staple gun or screws and nails can be used for attachment. 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 bought in traditional black as well as in other color variants. As with the screen, plan in advance what 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 from ordinary dust, washing with lukewarm water mixed with a bit of dish soap, such as Jar, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt 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 pressure washer to rinse it.

Synthetic rattan

The screen is made of shape and color stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (also called synthetic rattan, polyrattan or techno-rattan) using a technology of welding individual fibers together, which ensures that the material does not fray during shaping. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mold, dirt and water. It has good tensile strength and can be bent and cut into any desired shape. 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 as peeling and splitting.

Synthetic rattan is of course safe for health, 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 offer of colored mats in the image below.
