This maintenance-free protective layer not only fortifies the steel but also extends its lifespan. Opt for our garden edging to enjoy a solution that embodies reliability and beauty in equal measure.
Experience the effortless and straightforward installation of this edging. No special tools are needed—just a simple block of wood and a hammer suffice, making it accessible for anyone to install with ease.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging provide extraordinary durability and resistance to weather conditions, each offering unique benefits tailored to specific landscaping requirements.
The superior strength of steel makes it an optimal choice for areas frequently exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness serves well for retaining structures in raised borders, offering steadfast support and reliability.
Steel edging offers unmatched versatility in color selections, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or preferred RAL color powder-coated finishes.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Untreated and Corten steel both develop a striking orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
The patina not only boosts visual allure but also serves practical purposes. Architects and landscapers favor Corten steel for its fast-developing patina that integrates seamlessly with organic and natural design concepts, fitting effortlessly into both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering may discolor water runoff, risking stains on light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, several methods help mitigate this risk effectively.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation minimizes its contact with other materials, ensuring most oxidation occurs in advance. Accelerate this process with specific chemical applications to the steel's surface.
Implementing a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces enables efficient water drainage, thereby preventing staining spread and ensuring pristine surroundings.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
While steel is generally more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, it demands minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically suffices for protection under standard conditions, preserving the integrity of the underlying material effortlessly.
Powder-coated steel also offers superior corrosion resistance. To ensure extended longevity, it is crucial to 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.
