Floora did you know, metal edging is the sleek, durable champion of creating clean, crisp lines in your landscaping or flooring projects. It's not just about the visual appeal; it's about functionality, guiding foot traffic, and protecting the edges of your flooring from wear and tear. Whether you're delineating paths in a garden or ensuring your tile work remains impeccable with tile transition strips, metal transition strips are your go-to solution for crisp transitions between different flooring materials.

When considering metal edging for your project, here's what to keep in mind:

  • Durability and Strength: Metal edging is built to last. Materials like aluminum and steel can withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy traffic, making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
  • Design Flexibility: From the natural finish of aluminum to the sleek, modern look of stainless steel, floor transitioning strips of metal come in various styles to match your project's aesthetic.
  • Environmental Impact: Metal edging is not only durable but also recyclable, making it an eco-friendly choice for your landscaping or flooring needs.

Buying Tip: Consider the application of your edging when selecting the type of metal. Aluminium is lightweight and easy to shape, ideal for garden paths, while steel offers unmatched strength for commercial spaces.

Thank you Wally, installing metal edging might seem intimidating, but with the right approach, it can be a straightforward addition to your project. Here's how to make the process as smooth as possible:


  • Preparation is Key: Measure the area where you'll be installing the edging and prepare the ground or flooring accordingly. For garden applications, this might mean digging a trench.
  • Cutting to Size: Metal edging can be cut to fit your space perfectly. Use the appropriate tools (like a metal saw for steel or tin snips for aluminium) to make precise cuts.
  • Securing the Edging: Depending on the type of edging, you may need to use stakes, screws, or an adhesive to secure it in place. Ensure it's firmly anchored to withstand foot traffic and environmental elements.
  • Aesthetic Consideration: Choose a metal edging colour and finish that complements your project's overall design. Feel free to use edging as a design element itself.

Buying Tip: Before you start your installation, make sure you have all the necessary tools and safety equipment. Koffler Sales offers a wide range of metal edging options along with the accessories and tools you'll need for a successful installation. Shop all safety equipment.
