Cutting the screen

Before buying 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. For this, you can use ordinary office scissors or a utility knife. When cutting, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to make the cut completely straight. Scissors can be used for straight cuts as well as for cutting out arcs or other shapes. Even though the mat is composed of (welded from) horizontal and vertical woven artificial rattan strips 19 mm wide, the screen does not fray after cutting, nor does it 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 splits less. The fastening method varies depending on the options offered by the surface, but the most common installation method is attaching the mat with cable ties.

On the windward side, place the ties more densely - approx. 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 through 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 OSB board, you can use an upholstery stapler or screws and nails for attachment. You can find a detailed guide 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 bought in traditional black 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. based on 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 washing-up liquid, such as Jar, is enough. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt can also settle between the individual rattan strips. Here, an ordinary dish sponge or brush will serve you best for cleaning. If your screen is located in the garden, you can also 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 of welding individual fibers together, which ensures that the material does not fray when shaped. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mold, dirt and water. It has high tensile strength 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 signs of aging, which in natural rattan most often manifests as peeling and splitting.

Artificial rattan is, of course, safe for health, so there is no need to worry about the effect 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 the mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the complete range of colored mats in the image below.
