Perfectly suited for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing scenic pathways, this edging transforms with time, developing a distinctive character that seamlessly complements any garden style, plantings, and architectural design.
Corten steel is an exceptional choice for garden edging, harmoniously blending aesthetic appeal with remarkable strength, durability, and practicality. Within six months, it develops a distinctive, protective patina that not only halts further rust but also enhances the steel's strength and longevity, making it a maintenance-free solution that’s as reliable as it is beautiful.
Installing this state-of-the-art edging is both effortless and straightforward. No special tools are required—simply use a block of wood and a hammer to easily install, making it accessible for anyone to achieve professional results.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging are celebrated for their exceptional durability and resistance to weather conditions, each offering distinct benefits tailored to various landscaping requirements.
Steel's unmatched strength makes it the go-to choice for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicular traffic. Its robustness is ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, delivering steadfast support and reliability.
Steel edging offers unparalleled versatility with its wide range of color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your desired RAL color, ensuring a perfect match for your landscape design.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop a striking orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, enhancing its aesthetic allure and appeal.
The patina not only elevates visual appeal but provides practical advantages. Favored by architects and landscapers, Corten steel’s rapid patina development effortlessly blends with organic, natural design concepts, making it ideal for both traditional and modern settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
The weathering process of Corten steel can cause discoloration in water runoff, which may stain light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are effective strategies to minimize this risk.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation minimizes the risk of contact with other materials by ensuring the major oxidation occurs beforehand. This process can be accelerated by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces allows water to drain efficiently, preventing the spread of runoff and reducing the risk of staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Though steel is more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, high-grade steel edging requires minimal maintenance. Its design ensures longevity and reliability.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides ample protection under normal conditions, preserving the material beneath it effectively.
Powder-coated steel also offers high corrosion resistance. For maximum durability, care should be taken to avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, ensuring continued protection 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.
