Unveil the elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging, a remarkable solution to define and elevate your garden's beauty. Ideal for containing dynamic garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing inviting pathways, this innovative edging matures gracefully over time, acquiring a unique character that beautifully complements any garden style, planting arrangement, and architectural design.
Corten steel stands out as a superior choice for garden edging, admired for its striking visual appeal, unmatched strength, and practicality. Within six months, it develops a water-tight patina that halts further rusting, growing more resilient over time. This protective layer not only reinforces the steel but also extends its lifespan, eliminating maintenance. Opt for our garden edging for a solution as dependable as it is exquisite.
Installation of this edging is incredibly effortless and straightforward. Requiring no special tools, it becomes a simple task for anyone using just a block of wood and a hammer.
When is steel edging preferable to aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging exhibit exceptional durability and resilience against weather, each offering distinct advantages tailored to various landscaping needs.
Steel's superior strength renders it the perfect choice for areas subjected to heavy garden machinery or vehicular impact. Its robustness also makes it ideal for retaining structures in raised borders, delivering unwavering support.
Steel edging showcases unparalleled versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your chosen RAL color.
What's the distinction between untreated steel and Corten steel?
While both untreated and Corten steel develop an eye-catching orange-brown patina over time, Corten steel alloys accelerate this process, enhancing its visual allure.
The patina not only amplifies aesthetic appeal but also brings practical benefits. Corten steel is preferred by architects and landscapers for its swift patina development that harmonizes with organic and natural design concepts, fitting seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary settings.
How can I prevent Corten steel from staining nearby stone or concrete?
The weathering process of Corten steel may discolor water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Luckily, there are 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 allows water to drain away efficiently, preventing spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance is required for steel edging?
While more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium, steel requires minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials.
Under typical conditions, the natural oxidation layer on Corten steel offers adequate protection, preserving the material beneath.
Powder-coated steel also provides high corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity, avoid damaging the powder coating during installation, offering further 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.
