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. Ordinary office scissors or a utility knife will help you with this. When cutting, it is recommended to use a level or a board so that the cut is completely straight. You can use scissors both for a straight cut and 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 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 less prone to splitting. Fastening varies depending on the options 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, on the leeward side a spacing of 30-50 cm between the individual ties is sufficient. Since the screen is composed 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 perforate it. If the surface of the screen is made of wood or 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 buying cable ties, try to match the color of the screen and the cable tie as much as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be bought in the traditional black color, as well as in other color variants. As with the screen, also 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 a washing agent, such as dish soap, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt 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 pressure washer for rinsing.

Artificial rattan

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

Artificial 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 does not leave an 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 the mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the complete range of colored mats in the image below.
