Cutting the screen

Before purchasing the screen, it is advisable to measure the balcony or fence so that you don't buy unnecessarily more material (or you can return it to us - 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 help you with this. When cutting, it is recommended to use a level or a board to make the cut completely straight. Scissors can be used for straight cuts as well as for cutting curves or other shapes. Even though the mat is composed of (welded) horizontal and vertical woven strips of artificial rattan 19 mm wide, the screen does not fray after cutting and does not gradually unravel.

Installing the screen

Now comes the installation of the screen on the railing, fence or balcony. Ideally, install it 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 attaching the mat using cable ties.

On the windward side, place the ties more densely - approximately 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 with small gaps between them, the cable tie can be threaded through anywhere across the whole surface of the screen and there is no need to puncture it. If the base of the screen is made of wood or an OSB board, you can use an upholstery stapler or screws and nails for attachment. You will find a detailed guide at this link.

Neighbour's tip: When purchasing cable ties, try to match the colour of the screen and the tie as closely as possible for a perfect look. Cable ties can be bought in the traditional black colour, as well as in other colour variants. 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).

Low-maintenance

The LEGI balcony screen is easy to use and easy to maintain. To clean the screen of ordinary dust, washing it with lukewarm water mixed with washing-up liquid, such as Jar, is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt 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 to rinse it clean.

Artificial rattan

The screen is made of shape- and colour-stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (also known as synthetic rattan, polyrattan or technorattan) using a technology that welds individual fibres together, which ensures the material does not fray when shaped. The material is resistant to UV radiation, frost, mould, 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 the wear and tear that is most often seen on natural rattan in the form of 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 negative 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 the mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the complete range of coloured mats in the image below.
