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 needed (or you can return it to us any time - even after 100 years).

In most cases, you will need to shorten or adjust the mat in some way. For this, ordinary office scissors or a utility knife will work well. When cutting, we recommend using a spirit level or a board to ensure a perfectly straight cut. Scissors can be used both for straight cuts and for cutting curves or other shapes. Although the mat is composed (welded) of horizontal and vertical woven synthetic rattan strips 19 mm wide, the screen does not fray or gradually unravel after cutting.

Installing the screen

Now comes installing the screen on a railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and less prone to splitting. The fastening method varies depending on what the base offers, but the most common way is to attach the mat using cable ties.

On the windward side, place the ties more densely - approximately 15-20 cm apart, while on the leeward side, a spacing of 30-50 cm between ties is sufficient. Since the screen is made of several woven strips with small gaps between them, the cable tie can be threaded anywhere across the entire surface of the screen, so there is no need to pierce it. If the base of the screen is made of wood or an OSB board, you can use a staple gun, screws or nails for attachment. You can find a detailed guide at this link.

Neighbor's tip: When purchasing cable ties, try to match the color of the screen and the tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties are available in the traditional black color as well as in other color variants. As with the screen, plan ahead for the ties as well - think 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, simply wash it with lukewarm water mixed with a dish detergent, such as Jar. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt may settle even 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 a pressure washer for rinsing.

Synthetic 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 is tensile strong and can be bent and cut into the desired shape as needed. 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 aging, which in natural rattan usually appear as peeling and splitting.

Synthetic rattan is of course safe for health, so there is no need to worry about harmful effects on your health. The material is also fully recyclable, leaving no 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 the mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the full range of colored mats in the image below.
