Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is advisable to measure your balcony or fence so that you don't buy more material than necessary (or you can return it to us anytime - even up to 100 years later).

In most cases you will need to shorten or adjust the mat in some way. For this, ordinary office scissors or a utility knife will do the job. When cutting, it is recommended to use a level or a board to make the cut completely straight. Scissors can be used both for a straight cut and for cutting curves or other shapes. Even though the mat is made (welded) from horizontal and vertical woven strips of synthetic rattan 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 onto the 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 possibilities offered by the base, but the most common method of installation is attaching the mat with 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 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 make holes in it. If the base of the screen is made of wood or OSB board, you can use a staple gun, screws, or 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 closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be bought in the traditional black color as well as in other color variants. Just like with the screen, think ahead about the minimum length of tie you will need (e.g. based on 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 it with lukewarm water mixed with a bit of dish soap, for example Jar, will be enough. 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 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 that welds the individual fibers together, which ensures 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. Synthetic rattan is a double-sided, easy-to-wash material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, synthetic rattan does not show the effects of time, which are most often manifested in natural rattan through peeling and splitting.

Synthetic rattan is of course completely 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 therefore has no negative impact on the environment. Thanks to all these properties, it boasts 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.
