One of our main focus areas is our range of steel edging, a structural system for use in forming level changes, steps, planter edges and demarcation in commercial projects and our capability with this range is staggering, from welded corner units to radius sections and edge profiles for retaining walls, we can design and supply you products ensuring your project stands out from the crowd.
Firstly, we showcase a range of formed edgings that can be used for multiple applications from a lightweight lawn edging or a planter face used to retain soil, to a level change that needs to bear a structural load. The system can be used to add an aesthetically pleasing feature in or around nearly all surface finishes, including concrete, natural stone paving, asphalt, resin bound aggregates, even grassed areas or planting areas.
Uses: The system can be manufactured in 2 grades of stainless steel, 304 or 316, with a selection of surface finishes, new or aged Corten steel and mild steel with a powder coat or galvanised finish.
There are two main ways to use the system, at finished surface level & below or, protruding above ground level and, depending on which application you require, will dictate the joining system for the units.
System Units
The system has been designed to cover nearly every application, from lightweight small edgings to heavy duty, robust structural systems that can be used to edge, demark or retain any material. We have devised a set of standard units that can be supplied quickly and trimmed on site if required, to suit the run length. The table in the next section highlights the most cost-effective lengths, but remember, Parca can produce pre-cut bespoke lengths if this makes life easier on site, it just takes a little longer as they will be made to order.
Bespoke Solutions
ParCa also offer a full design and layout service. We carry out structural calculations for any applications required to take either a lateral or point load and, will lay out the runs of edging ensuring joints are evenly spaced.
Pre-welded corner units at any angle can be incorporated to give a seamless finish to the system, this is more desirable when the edgings are used above ground level and joints become slightly more visible. We can even supply radial units to create elaborate patterns and effects within or around the finished surface.
We are also happy to work off an existing design, so if you have an existing design or would like to work out your own schedule of lengths, we would be happy to manufacture to your specification.
