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 than needed (or you can return it to us - even after up to 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 do the job. When cutting, we recommend using a level or a board to ensure a perfectly straight cut. Scissors can be used for straight cuts as well as for cutting arcs or other shapes. Even though 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 the installation of the screen on the railing, fence or balcony. It is ideal to carry out the installation in warmer weather, as the material becomes more pliable and less prone to splitting. The fixing method depends 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 - 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 with small gaps between them, the cable tie can be threaded anywhere across the whole surface of the screen and there is no need to puncture it. If the surface behind the screen is made of wood or OSB board, you can also use a staple gun, screws or nails for fixing. 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 closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be bought in the traditional black color as well as in other color variants. As with the screen, plan in advance for the ties what minimum length 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, simply wash it with lukewarm water with a bit of washing-up liquid, for example Jar. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other impurities can also 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 also use a garden hose or 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 the individual fibers together, ensuring 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 any desired shape. Synthetic rattan is a double-sided, easy-to-wash material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, synthetic rattan does not show the signs of aging that are most commonly seen in natural rattan through peeling and splitting.

Synthetic 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, leaving 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 the mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the full range of colored mats in the picture below.
