Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is a good idea to measure your balcony or fence so you don't buy more material than necessary (or you can return it to us - within as much as 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 work well for this. 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 out curves or other shapes. Even though the mat is composed of (welded) horizontal and vertical woven strips of synthetic rattan 19 mm wide, after cutting the screen does not fray or gradually unravel.

Installing the screen

Now comes the installation of the screen onto a railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and less prone to splitting. The fixing method varies depending on the options offered by the surface, but the most common installation method is attaching the mat using cable ties.

On the windward side, place the ties closer together - about 15-20 cm apart, while on the leeward side, a spacing of 30-50 cm between the 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 screen's surface, and there is no need to make holes in it. If the surface is wood or an OSB board, you can also use an upholstery stapler or screws and nails for fixing. You can find detailed instructions 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. Just like with the screen, think in advance about the minimum tie length 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 of everyday dust, simply wash it with lukewarm water mixed with a washing-up liquid, such as dish soap. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other debris may settle between the individual rattan strips. In this case, an ordinary dish sponge or brush will work best for cleaning. If your screen is located in the garden, you can also use a hose or pressure washer for rinsing.

Synthetic rattan

The screen is made from 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 the material does not fray when shaped. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mould, 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 signs of ageing, which in natural rattan most often manifests 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. In addition, the material is fully recyclable and thus does not leave any 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 mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the complete range of coloured mats in the image below.
