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 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 do the job. 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 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 way of installation is to attach 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 made up 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 pierce it. If the surface of the screen is made of wood or an OSB board, an upholstery stapler or screws and nails can be used for fastening. 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 cable tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be bought in the traditional black colour, as well as in other colour variants. Just like with the screen, 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 low-maintenance. To clean the screen of ordinary dust, washing with lukewarm water mixed with a little washing-up liquid, such as Jar, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt can 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 to rinse it.

Artificial rattan

The screen is made of shape- and colour-stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (also known as synthetic rattan, poly-rattan or techno-rattan) using a technology that welds individual fibres together, which ensures 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 the effects of time, which are most often manifested in natural rattan by peeling and splitting.

Artificial 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 thus leaves no impact on the environment. Thanks to all these properties, it stands out for its very long service life of up to 20 years.

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