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 serve you well for this. When cutting, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to ensure a completely straight cut. You can use scissors both for a straight cut and for cutting out arcs or other shapes. Even though the mat is made (welded) from horizontal and vertical woven strips of artificial rattan 19 mm wide, the screen does not fray after cutting, nor does it gradually unravel.

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. 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 - approx. 15-20 cm apart, on the leeward side a spacing of 30-50 cm between individual ties is sufficient. Because the screen is made of several woven strips that have 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 an OSB board, you can also use a staple gun, screws or 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. Just as with the screen, also think in advance about the minimum length of tie you will need for the ties (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 of ordinary dust, washing it with lukewarm water mixed with a washing detergent, such as dish soap, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other debris may also settle 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 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 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 the effects of time, which most often manifests in natural rattan through 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 for its 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.
