ALUMINIUM: NOW THE PROFESSIONAL CHOICE FOR LANDSCAPE EDGING

Kinley Systems has recorded a significant increase in sales of its aluminium lawn and landscape edging products, indicating that the metal is fast becoming the popular choice of professional designers for edging in commercial applications over traditional methods such as concrete kerbs.

“We have recorded a 330% increase in orders across our Exceledge ranges of aluminium edging over the past two years,” reported Richard McMullan, Business Development Manager at Kinley Systems. “Using aluminium profiles is clearly becoming an increasingly accepted and proven way of providing an effective edging to hard landscape surfaces such as paths, play areas, plazas and roadways.”

Exceledge AluExcel, the aluminium landscape edging from Kinley Systems, has been specified for many projects throughout the Stratford Town Centre redevelopment, Athletes Village and other areas associated with development and regeneration schemes for the 2012 events.

Richard explained: “Specifiers and installers find AluExcel perfect for their requirements. Whilst strong and durable, the profiles are also lightweight, flexible and versatile, which makes it easy to create interesting designs. The simple installation method means that significant time is saved during construction. Of equal importance, AluExcel is smart and discreet in appearance, providing the professional finish that is essential for the high profile locations that will be seen by visitors from all over the world next year.”



Aluminium as a metal, offers many benefits that supports its use as an edging profile. As one of the most readily available commercial metals, it is also 100% recyclable with a 95% reclamation rate from the recycling process. This makes it one of the most efficient metals to recycle, strengthened by the fact that recycling aluminium uses 95% less energy than extracting virgin material from the metal’s core element, Bauxite.

“Kinley Systems has worked hard over the last three years to become the UK and Europe’s leading provider in these products and Exceledge has seen excellent growth throughout the recession,” commented Richard. “We now have established markets and distribution centres in most major European countries and the comprehensive product range and high level of support offered to specifiers and contractors is a major part of Kinley’s vision to establish aluminium and steel as accepted, tried and proven methods of effectively edging landscape surfaces.

“In addition to our constant research and development into new and innovative products, our resource-rich Exceledge website has recently gone live at www.exceledge.co.uk. This website provides valuable information, such as case studies with installation diagrams and CAD drawings, to help designers, specifiers and contractors bring a creative and effective edge to landscape construction.”
