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 on 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.
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.
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.
