GARDEN DESIGN
FLEXIBLE STEEL EDGING
Another unique design feature only found with CORE EDGE is our ‘ dual lock ’ mechanism – using double locking tabs , this provides a rigid strong connection between adjoining sections of edging . This helps to save time on large installs as long runs of edging can be joined together before being installed – as opposed to installing one section at a time and trying to adjoin the next section in the ground .
CORE EDGE is laser cut for precision and then undergoes a hot dip galvanising process ( except for our Core-Ten weathered finish ) prior to being powder coated . Our powder coating technique uses a UV stable Akzo-Nobel powder to prevent colour fade and forms a hard wearing and durable scratch resistant surface to guarantee a 20 year plus lifespan . Powder coating provides a hard wearing and tougher finish compared to other conventional paint application methods as it will not crack or expand and contract in extremes of temperatures .
CORE EDGE is proudly manufactured in the UK and has a host of attributes that have made it such a popular choice . Unlike most other steel edging , ours features a unique fold along the centre of the ground spike to provide maximum strength , reinforcing the spike and making it ideal for use in tough ground conditions . However , if you are installing our edging in soft or loamy soil , then our optional rebar pin & clip can be added to provide additional stability where required . An additional benefit of these optional pins is that they can be fitted after installation has started – so there is no need to lift a whole run of edging if you encounter softer soil part way during the install .
For ease of use , our domestic and trade packs each provide exactly 5 linear meters . The connecting overlap between sections is 75mm long and each section of CORE EDGE is 1075mm long to counteract this - which gives 5 finished linear meters when connected . We provide 6 % more edge per pack than our nearest competitor .
Available in 2 thickness – 1.6mm which is suitable for domestic schemes and 2.5mm heavy duty trade edging for heavier duty projects . Due to popular demand , we also offer the heavy-duty trade edging in longer lengths of 2.2m where larger amounts of steel edging are required , these longer lengths are invaluable in saving on installation time . www . corelp . co . uk
