Construction site in Liffre in Brittany: the Techniseal aluminum border redraws the space

The completion of this 566 m² was carried out by the occupants themselves, who chose the Techniseal aluminum border to delimit and redraw the space in front of this property.

This achievement consists of a central island welcoming vegetation and a path of slabs of Schist surrounded by lawn. This rounded path guides the visitor towards the front door of the house. To ensure this achievement a harmonious finish while delimiting the lines and curves, Techniseal aluminum borders have been installed. Very easy to install, they shape and create a clean and elegant junction between minerals and plants. The curves are refined, the result trendy and contemporary.

A contemporary journey

Very easy to install, the Techniseal aluminum border redraws the space in front of the house. In total, nearly 88 linear meters of Techniseal curbs were installed by the owners themselves. Back in pictures on the development of this space.

• After leveling the space around the central island, the border locations were marked off with string and then marked with colored paint.
   
• Vertical trenches were dug on the painted lines and curves 10 to 13 cm deep, depending on the desired visible edge height.
   
• The Techniseal aluminum borders have been positioned in the trench making sure to place the notches for the anchors at the bottom and inside the bedding.
   
• Finally, the anchors were fixed with a hammer.
   
• A geotextile felt was then cut, positioned, then fixed between the borders in order to limit the growth of weeds and prevent the dispersion of gravel in the support soil.
   
• Gray gravel was deposited evenly on the geotextile felt.
   
• In the driveway, the slabs of Schist were laid on a bed of sand and positioned 13 cm from each other, following the rounded shape of the path. The level was measured between each slab to ensure perfect flatness.
   
• White gravel was then deposited around the slabs of Schist on the geotextile felt to complete the site.

Aluminum border, the decorative support for mineral and vegetable creations

To ensure an impeccable finish for lawns, flowerbeds, flower beds, green spaces, garden paths ... Techniseal has developed an aluminum border that offers a clean and elegant junction between materials and plants. It allows to create a multitude of functional and decorative arrangements, with great ease of installation.

Simplified implementation
