Cutting the screen

Before buying the screen, it is a good idea to measure your balcony or fence so you don't buy unnecessarily more material (or you can return it to us - within as much as 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, it is recommended to use a spirit level or a board to make sure the cut is completely straight. Scissors can be used both for straight cuts and for cutting 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 it's time to install 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. Fixing 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 - 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 entire surface of the screen and there is no need to pierce it. If the surface 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 tie as closely as possible for a perfect design. Cable ties can be bought in traditional black as well as in other colour variants. Just like with the screen, think in advance about the minimum tie length you will need (e.g. based on 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 washing-up liquid is sufficient. Since the surface of the screen is very realistic, pollen or other dirt may also settle between the individual rattan strips. Here, an ordinary dish sponge or brush will serve you best when cleaning. If your screen is located in the garden, you can use a hose or pressure washer for rinsing.

Artificial rattan

The screen is made of shape- and colour-stable 100% recyclable polyethylene (also known as synthetic rattan, polyrattan or technorattan) using individual fibre welding technology, which ensures 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, easy-to-clean material, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unlike natural rattan, artificial rattan does not show the signs of ageing that are most commonly seen 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. Moreover, the material is 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 the mat, which will stylishly complement your house or garden. You can find the complete range of coloured mats in the image below.
