Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is advisable to measure your balcony or fence so that 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 do the job. When cutting, it is recommended to use a level or a board to ensure the cut is perfectly straight. 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 strips of artificial rattan 19 mm wide, the screen does not fray or gradually unravel after cutting.

Installing the screen

Now it's time to install the screen onto the railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and less prone to splitting. Attachment varies depending on what the surface allows, but the most common method of installation is attaching the mat with zip ties.

On the windward side, place the ties more densely - about 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 zip tie can be threaded through anywhere on the whole surface of the screen and there is no need to pierce it. If the surface behind the screen is made of wood or OSB board, you can also use an upholstery stapler or screws and nails for attachment. You can find a detailed guide at this link.

Neighbor's tip: When buying zip ties, try to match the color of the screen and the tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Zip 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 from ordinary dust, simply wash it with lukewarm water mixed with a washing-up liquid, for example. Since the screen's surface is very realistic, pollen or other dirt may settle between the individual rattan strips. For this, an ordinary dish sponge or brush will work best. If your screen is located in the garden, you can also use a hose or a pressure washer for rinsing.

Artificial rattan

The screen is made of shape- and color-stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (also known as synthetic rattan, polyrattan or techno-rattan) using a fiber welding technology, 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, easy-to-wash material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, artificial rattan does not show the effects of time, which most often appear in natural rattan as 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 color shades of mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the full range of colored mats in the image below.
