Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is advisable to measure your balcony or fence so 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 somehow. Ordinary office scissors or a utility knife will help you with this. When cutting, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to make the cut completely straight. Scissors can be used both for straight cuts and for cutting out arcs or other shapes. Even though the mat is made (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 the railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, carry out the installation in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and splits less. The fastening method depends 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 more densely - approximately 15-20 cm apart, while on the leeward side a gap of 30-50 cm between individual ties is sufficient. Because the screen is made of several woven strips with small gaps between them, the cable tie can be threaded through anywhere on the entire surface of the screen, and there is no need to perforate 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.

Neighbour's tip: When buying cable ties, try to match the colour of the screen and the cable tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be purchased in the traditional black colour, as well as in other colour variants. As with the screen, also 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 from ordinary dust, washing with lukewarm water mixed with a washing-up liquid, such as Jar, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other impurities may 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 colour-stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (otherwise known as synthetic rattan, polyrattan or technorattan) using a technology of welding individual fibres together, which ensures that the material does not fray when shaped. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mould, dirt and water. It is tensile-strong and can be bent and cut into any desired shape. 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 effects of time, which most often manifest 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 colour shades of mats, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the complete range of coloured mats in the image below.
