Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is advisable 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 serve this purpose. When cutting, it is recommended to use a level or a board to ensure a completely straight cut. Scissors can be used for both straight cuts and cutting curves or other shapes. Even though the mat is composed of (welded) horizontal and vertical woven synthetic rattan strips 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 your railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and less prone to splitting. The fastening method 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 - about 15-20 cm apart, while 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 puncture it. If the surface for attachment is made of wood or an OSB board, you can 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 cable tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be purchased 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, simply wash it with lukewarm water mixed with dish soap, for example. 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 also use a hose or pressure washer to rinse it.

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 individual fibers together, ensuring 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. Synthetic rattan is a double-sided, easy-to-clean 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 for its very long lifespan of up to 20 years.

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