Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is advisable to measure your balcony or fence so that you do not buy unnecessarily more material (or you can return it to us within 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 serve this purpose. When cutting, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to ensure a completely straight cut. Scissors can be used both for straight cuts and for cutting out arches 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 a 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 - 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 through anywhere across the entire surface of the screen, so there is no need to make holes in it. If the base of the screen is made of wood or an OSB board, you can use an upholstery stapler or screws and nails for attachment. 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 tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be purchased 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).

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 small amount of washing-up liquid is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt may settle between the individual rattan strips. In this case, an ordinary dish sponge or brush will serve you best when cleaning. If your screen is located in the garden, you can use a hose or 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 that the material does not fray when shaped. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mould, dirt and water. It has high tensile strength and can be bent and cut into the desired shape as needed. Artificial rattan is a double-sided, easy-to-wash material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, artificial rattan does not show signs of ageing, which in natural rattan is most commonly manifested by peeling and splitting.

Artificial 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 colour shades of matting, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the full range of coloured mats in the picture below.
