Immerse yourself in the beauty of our Corten Steel Garden Edging, an exquisite solution for defining and enhancing the allure of your garden. Ideal for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing scenic pathways, this edging matures gracefully, developing a unique character that harmonizes with any garden style, diverse plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel stands out as a remarkable choice for garden edging, offering aesthetic brilliance coupled with incredible strength, durability, and practicality. Over the course of six months, it forms a water-tight patina that prevents further rusting, becoming more robust over time. This protective layer fortifies the steel and prolongs its life, eliminating the need for maintenance. When you choose our garden edging, you select a solution as beautiful as it is reliable.
Installing this edging is a breeze, requiring no special tools. Simply employ a block of wood and a hammer, allowing for straightforward installation accessible to anyone.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging are celebrated for their exceptional durability and weather resistance, with each offering unique advantages tailored to different landscaping needs.
The superior strength of steel makes it the preferred choice for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness is ideal for retaining structures in elevated borders, providing unwavering support.
Steel edging exemplifies unparalleled versatility with a spectrum of color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your preferred RAL color, offering a personalized touch to every landscape.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop an engaging orange-brown patina over time. However, Corten steel alloys expedite this process, enhancing its visual appeal and allure.
The patina not only elevates aesthetic appeal but provides practical advantages. Corten steel is cherished by architects and landscapers for its rapidly developing patina that seamlessly integrates with organic and natural design concepts, perfectly complementing both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
Corten steel's weathering can discolor water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are effective strategies to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring most 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 facilitates water drainage, preventing spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
While steel is more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, it requires minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials, ensuring sustained beauty and function.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides ample protection under normal circumstances, preserving the underlying material and its integrity.
Powder-coated steel also delivers high corrosion resistance. To prolong its longevity, avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, ensuring added 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.
