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 serve you well for this. When cutting, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to ensure a completely straight cut. Scissors can be used both for a straight cut and for cutting arcs or other shapes. Even though the mat is composed (welded) of 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 on a railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, install it in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and less prone to splitting. Fastening varies depending on the options offered by the surface, but the most common method of installation is attaching the mat using 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 that have small gaps between them, the cable tie can be threaded anywhere across the entire surface of the screen and it is not necessary to perforate it. If the base of the screen is made of wood or an OSB board, a staple gun or screws and nails can be used for fastening. 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 much as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be bought in the traditional black color, as well as in other color variants. Just like with the screen, think ahead 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 agent, such as dish soap, is enough. Because the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other impurities may settle between the individual rattan strips as well. An ordinary dish sponge or brush will serve you best for cleaning here. 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 (also called synthetic rattan, polyrattan or technorattan) using a technology of welding individual fibers together, which ensures that the material does not fray during shaping. 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 in any way. 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 is most commonly manifested 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 therefore 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 mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the complete offer of colored mats in the image below.
