AluExcel: Aluminium Angle Edging for Hard Landscaping
Technical purpose of product or process This Environmental Product Declaration covers the AluExcel aluminium angle edging system, an L-profile aluminium edge restraint designed for hard landscaping applications. The system is supplied in 2.5 m lengths and is available in both flexible and rigid configurations across a range of profile heights from 18 mm to 200 mm, enabling use in both straight and curved installations. AluExcel is manufactured from both Aluminium Alloy 6063A T6 (18-20 mm) & Aluminium Alloy 6005A T6 (> 20 mm), high-performance structural alloys offering enhanced strength, durability and resistance to corrosion and elevated temperatures. The product incorporates a tapered top edge and a stabilising base foot to provide dimensional stability and a refined visible edge detail. Standard edging lengths are 2,500 mm with a top bead thickness ranging from 5.5 mm to 8.5 mm depending on profile height. Foot widths are 45 mm (18–65 mm profiles) and 70 mm (75–200 mm profiles). The system is designed to demarcate and restrain a wide range of hard and semi-rigid landscape surfaces, including blocks and pavers, asphalt and tarmacadam, wet-pour rubber safety surfacing, and resin bound gravel. The alloy grade provides high natural corrosion resistance through formation of a self-protecting oxide layer and is suitable for use in conjunction with hot asphalt applications up to 180°C. Each edging section is mechanically connected on site using aluminium strip connectors. Two connector formats are available: • Small connectors for 18–40 mm profiles • Large connectors for 50–200 mm profiles Connectors are manufactured from Aluminium Alloy 6005A T6 and are typically 100 mm in length, fitted at each joint between 2.5 m sections. The declared unit for this EPD is 1 kg of AluExcel garden edging system, including associated aluminium connectors. Installation is undertaken onto a compacted sub-base (e.g. MOT Type 1) or suitable prepared foundation. Fixing can be achieved with or without using 250 mm spiral fixing stakes or masonry fixings, depending on substrate conditions. The edging is installed with a continuous bedding layer (e.g. 3:1 sharp sand/cement dry mix) to provide uniform support. No wet concrete haunching is required under standard applications. AluExcel is manufactured in the UK and contains a minimum of 80% recycled aluminium content. The EPD covers the aluminium edging profiles and aluminium connectors as delivered to site, excluding installation accessories such as steel spiral fixing stakes, bedding materials, sub-base construction, surfacing materials, and site machinery.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
