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 up to 100 years later).

In most cases, you will need to shorten or adjust the mat in some way. Ordinary office scissors or a utility knife will be useful for this. When cutting, it is recommended to use a level or a board to ensure a completely straight cut. Scissors can be used both for straight cuts and for cutting out curves or other shapes. Even though the mat is composed (welded) of horizontal and vertical woven strips of artificial rattan 19 mm wide, the screen will 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, install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and less likely to splinter. The fixing method varies depending on the options offered by the base, 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. Since the screen is composed of several woven strips that have small gaps between them, the cable tie can be threaded through anywhere on the surface of the screen and there is no need to puncture it. If the base 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 for a perfect design as much as possible. Cable ties can be purchased in the traditional black color, as well as in other color variants. As with the screen, also with the ties think in advance about the minimum length of tie you will need (e.g. according to the circumference of the post or railing).

Easy maintenance

The LEGI balcony screen is easy to use and maintain. To clean the screen of ordinary dust, washing with lukewarm water mixed with a cleaning agent, such as dish soap, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other impurities may settle even 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 pressure washer for rinsing.

Artificial rattan

The screen is made of shape- and color-stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (otherwise 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 is tensile-strong and can be bent and cut into the required shape in any way. Artificial rattan is a double-sided, easily washable material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, artificial rattan does not show the signs of aging that are most commonly seen in natural rattan, such as 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 excels with 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 picture below.
