Redcor®

Redcor® steel generically known by the trademark Cor-Ten® also known as Corten is the most popular of our steel edging finishes. Not only does Redcor® steel have a long life expectancy, its slight variation in colour and appearance makes for spectacular viewing. Redcor® Steel was developed by BlueScope. The steel is made by Australians for Australians.
Redcor® steel develops a protective layer on its surface when exposed to the weather eliminating the need for painting or galvanising.
Once exposed to the elements it can take anywhere from 4-16 weeks to achieve that nice rustic appearance.
Redcor® steel contrasts superbly with a Verdant environment. The beautiful patina process is something to behold.

SHAPESCAPER® stakes and connectors

Manufactured in Australia with BlueScope® Steel  
All SHAPESCAPER stakes and connectors feature precision pre-drilled holes that align with corresponding holes pre-drilled along the full length of all SHAPESCAPER® edging.
A choice of holes along each length allow for either the recommended x3 stakes per length or x4 stakes per length for specific applications, such as long straight runs of edging in light soils or heavy traffic areas.
Lower profile stakes such as the 400mm long ribbed stake offer a choice of fastening heights that can be varied depending on the profile of the edging being installed along with the required fastener depth.
Stakes can be installed by matching up the corresponding holes in the edging and then secured by screwing in from the front. Alternatively stakes can be installed by screwing them in through a pre-drilled stake hole into any part of the edging along the back face.
It is important to check that all screwed fittings are placed well under the soil level and will not cause an injury while weeding etc. All fastening above soil level should be fitted off using the supplied rivets.

Zam®

Developed by a large Japanese corrosion research and development team and tested by the French corrosion institute, ZAM was engineered for the automotive industry and designed for countries with the harshest weather conditions.
ZAM coating is a mixture of Zinc, aluminium and magnesium. ZAM works particularly well in marine environments and is compatible with cement-based products.
ZAM is around half the price of stainless and almost 95% as efficient. ZAM has 3 times greater corrosion resistance than galvanized steel.
ZAM edging has a high glossy satin finish and is very compatible with other landscape materials. ZAM will stand the test of time and have your home and garden looking bright and sleek for life.

Warranty & Return

All SHAPESCAPER™ products are covered by a 10 year guarantee to resupply structurally failed products. The warranty commences from the time of initial retail purchase. In order to gain the maximum life from your SHAPESCAPER™ product, correct installation procedures should be followed. Most conditions require the installer to apply a protective coating such as Bitumen or an Epoxy Mastic to any surface that is in contact with soil.

Limitations:

The protective ‘rust’ patina formed on weathering steel such as REDCOR® Steels influenced by environmental conditions and can vary across different locations. While the steel is developing this protective layer it is important that the steel is subject to cycles of both wet and dry conditions. This is a natural process and can take up two or three years to stabilise. Variations in the consistency and hue of the patina are not covered under this warranty. Areas exposed to high salinity, high acidity, corrosive chemicals and environments that are exposed to constantly wet conditions inhibit the formation of a stable protective patina. The use of salt or other chemical means to accelerate the weathering process can permanently damage the steels capacity to form a stable protective layer.

Exclusions:

This Warranty DOES NOT cover:

  1. Structural damage ie. malfunction or failure of a product caused or contributed to by:

(a) improper installation or failure to follow installation and site preparation instructions;

(b) abnormal environmental conditions eg. areas exposed to high salinity, high acidity, corrosive chemicals and environments that are exposed to constantly wet conditions;

(c) SHAPESCAPER™ products installed within 1km of a saltwater coastline or within 15m of a saltwater pool;

(d) heavy loads or mechanical abuse to products above and beyond reasonably expected and specified usage;

(e) any modification or repair which has not been authorised Landscape Engineering Pty Ltd;

(f) the use of substitute or replacement of parts not supplied by Landscape Engineering Pty Ltd.

2. Claims made in regard superficial flaking or areas of discolouration.

3. All claims made in regard to any damage arising from the installation of SHAPESCAPER™ products, including but not limited to:

(a) any staining of surrounding areas due to “run off” as the weathering process stabilises.

4. All claims other than those made by the original purchaser.

5. All claims without a dated proof of purchase.

6. SHAPESCAPER™ products that have been disturbed or relocated after the initial installation. (Please insure that all products under claim remain in-situ to allow for warranty inspection)
