Unveil the sophistication of our Corten Steel Garden Edging, a captivating solution crafted to define and enrich your garden's allure. Ideal for containing garden beds, edging lawns, and framing pathways, this edging matures gracefully, adding unique character that enhances any garden style, planting, or architectural design.
Corten steel represents an extraordinary choice in garden edging. It combines an aesthetic allure with strength, durability, and practicality. Within six months, it forms a protective patina that halts further rusting, gaining fortitude over time. This layer not only strengthens the steel but also prolongs its lifespan, requiring no upkeep. Select our garden edging for a durable and beautiful solution.
Installing this edging is remarkably simple and user-friendly. With no need for special tools, a block of wood and a hammer suffice, making it accessible for anyone to set up with ease.
When is steel edging the superior choice over aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer remarkable durability and weather resilience, each possessing unique benefits tailored to diverse landscaping requirements.
Steel's exceptional strength makes it the optimal option for areas subjected to heavy garden machinery or vehicular traffic. Its sturdiness is ideal for retaining structures in elevated borders, delivering dependable support.
Steel edging affords unmatched versatility in color selections, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or custom powder-coated finishes in your desired RAL hue.
How does untreated steel differ from Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a striking orange-brown patina as they age. However, Corten steel's unique alloys expedite this transformation, enhancing its visual appeal.
The patina not only amplifies visual appeal but serves practical functions. Corten steel is preferred by architects and landscapers for its swift patina development that harmonizes effortlessly with organic and natural design themes, suiting both traditional and modern environments.
How can I prevent Corten steel from staining nearby stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering process can discolor runoff water, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Thankfully, strategies exist to minimize this risk.
Pre-weathering steel prior to installation reduces interaction with nearby materials by ensuring most oxidation occurs initially. Expedite this by applying specialized chemicals to the steel's surface.
Incorporating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent areas allows for water drainage, averting spread and potential staining.
What level of maintenance does steel edging require?
While more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, steel demands minimal upkeep when crafted from high-quality materials.
The natural oxidation on Corten steel typically offers adequate protection in standard conditions, safeguarding the underlying steel.
Powder-coated steel also exhibits high corrosion resistance. To prolong its lifespan, avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, further protecting against corrosion.
Pin kerbing or pavers, set on a solid concrete base and haunched, will create a solid edge that can either blend with or complement the rest of the paving.
However, this method may require several site visits to lay the foundation, then lay and haunch the edging, and time between for the base and haunching to cure before the paving can be laid.
If aluminium or steel edging is used, the paving can be laid as soon as the edging is installed. Both products feature a narrow profile that makes them inconspicuous against paving and soft landscaping, and neither has the problem of grass die-back caused by concrete.
