Mitigate increasing flood risks with Marshalls EDENKERB®
Landscaping specialist and Accredited Supplier Marshalls has launched the industry’s first off-the-shelf rain garden kerb system, creating an easy way to develop sustainable, biodiverse rain gardens to mitigate increasing flood risks.
Currently, if you’re currently installing rain garden kerbs you must cut and fit bespoke solutions, slowing down processes on site. Marshalls’ EDENKERB is off-the-shelf, in one modular design and made up of three simple elements – making it easier than ever to add rain gardens to a project.
EDENKERB® combines a purpose-made left-hand inlet and right-hand inlet with an integrated kerb gradient to promote water entry to the rain garden, and a complementary diffuser flag to slow incoming water flow. Produced as a single modular design, it reduces the margin for error and time constraints usually associated with cutting and installing made-to-measure rain kerb installations, and is compliant with sustainability, SuDS and flood mitigation legislation.
Currently available in a grey finish, EDENKERB is available in two sizes and two profiles with further finishes to come, offering the design flexibility to suit multiple aesthetics and environments. EDENKERB is designed to work seamlessly alongside Marshalls’ existing kerb and paving ranges, enabling the development of raingardens with any configuration and perimeter, creating further efficiencies for users.
Gemma Monaghan, Civils and Drainage Category Manager for Marshalls, said:
"We’re amid a biodiversity crisis leading to the loss of ecosystems and ongoing environmental changes. Add to this rapid urbanisation, population increase and the impact of climate change, and our towns and cities are now at increased, ongoing risk of flooding and watercourse pollution. Rain gardens provide a flood management system that doubles up as an attractive, biodiverse feature, but until now, their integration with kerbs has proved challenging"
"EDENKERB is the industry’s first complete commercial rain garden kerb system, providing an effective and attractive SuDS solution, manufactured to the high-quality standards you would expect from Marshalls. It is a true ‘one of a kind’ system – there is nothing else like it in the marketplace."
