Cutting the screen

Before buying the screen, it is a good idea to measure your balcony or fence so you don't end up buying more material than needed (although you can return it to us anytime - 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 work well for this. When cutting, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to make sure the cut is completely straight. Scissors can be used for both straight cuts and for cutting curves or other shapes. Although the mat is made (welded) of 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, carry out the installation 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 to attach the mat using cable ties.

On the windward side, place the ties closer together - approx. 15-20 cm apart, while 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 anywhere across 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 an OSB board, you can also use a staple gun, screws or nails to attach it. 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 tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be bought 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).

Easy 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 bit of dish soap, such as Jar. Since the screen's surface is very realistic, pollen or other dirt can accumulate between the individual rattan strips. An ordinary dish sponge or brush will work best for cleaning this. If your screen is placed in the garden, you can also use a hose or pressure washer to rinse it.

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 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-clean material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, artificial rattan does not show signs of aging, which in natural rattan is most often manifested by peeling and splitting.

Artificial rattan is of course harmless to health, so there's no need to worry about the effects of harmful substances on your health. The material is also fully recyclable and does not leave a negative impact on the environment. Thanks to all these properties, it boasts 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 complete range of colored mats in the image below.
