Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is a good idea 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 do the job. When cutting, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to keep the cut perfectly straight. Scissors can be used for both straight cuts and for cutting arcs or other shapes. Even though the mat is made (welded) from horizontal and vertical woven artificial 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 the railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and splits less. Fastening 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 closer together - approx. 15-20 cm apart, on the leeward side a spacing of 30-50 cm between the 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 on the entire surface of the screen, and it is not necessary to pierce it. If the surface of the screen is made of wood or an OSB board, a staple gun, screws or nails can be used for fastening. A detailed guide can be found 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 traditional black as well as in other colors. 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 and a bit of detergent, for example dish soap, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt can settle even between the individual rattan strips. A simple dish sponge or brush is best for cleaning here. If you have the screen placed in the garden, you can use a hose or 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 technorattan) using a technology that welds the individual fibers together, ensuring 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-clean material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, artificial rattan does not show signs of aging, which most often manifests 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. In addition, the material is fully recyclable and thus does not leave an 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 mats, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the full range of colored mats in the image below.
