I'd like to know if anybody has used Keyform or Linefix as an alternative to concrete for block paving edges and what they think about them.
I've asked a few building suppliers around the area I live in (NE London) if they sell Linefix or Keyform and they said they've never heard of them.
Can anybody recommend any suppliers?
Thanks
Keyform/Linefix

Personally, I don't like these products as I believe they are more trouble than they're worth, limit the curves and sweeps that I like to build into my designs, and are slow and expensive compared to concrete bed and haunch.
However, in N.America, they are unbelievably popular, but I think that is because a concrete bed and haunched edging woulkd give problems in areas of frost heave, and so they rely on these types of 'solutions' that can move with the ground as it rises and falls, without cracking the haunching and requiring annual repairs.
If you contact Marshalls (distributors of Keyform which they bring in from overseas) or Hauraton, they will be able to tell you who, in your area, stocks their kit.
