Product Description

Permaloc PermaStrip is a rigid, L-shaped aluminum maintenance strip specifically designed to make straight runs bordering buildings, fences and other maintenance problem areas.

Landscape edging is flexible to form curves in planting and bedding areas. When installed in a straight line edging these products become wavy looking unsightly. PermaStrip eliminates this problem by utilizing an L-shape for rigidity along straight runs.

Permaloc PermaStrip is made out of heavy-duty aluminum and is available in an 1/8" or 3/16" thickness and 3-1/2" height.

PermaStrip comes in 16' and 8' sections. 16' sections are designed specifically for straight runs, while 8' sections include V-notches in the base allowing for gentle curves.

Finishes available include: Mill (natural aluminum) or Black DuraFlex (electrostatically applied, baked on paint).

PermaStrip is anchored with 12" heavy-duty aluminum stakes. 16' sections include 8 stakes and 8' sections include 3 stakes.

The sections are connected using Permaloc's unique sliding connection system eliminating any possibility of separation.

Product Background

Architects tell us that maintenance strips are one problem area that can detract from the clean architectural appearance of a structure or project faster than any other.

The realities are that wood, plastic and even metal landscape edgings are designed to be installed adjacent to aggregate material.

PermaStrip allows the aggregate material to be installed over top of the horizontal base resulting in an integrated installation.

Traditional landscape edgings are designed to be flexible for most landscape applications, looking wavy as a maintenance strip. Any of these products leave the architecture and project looking unsightly requiring high levels of maintenance.

PermaStrip is easy to install in perfectly straight runs or gentle curves and is designed to stay that way over the lifetime of the project.
