Here at Cheshire Metalcraft, we like to be there every step of the way in order to help our clients find the right gate for their needs. After all, the market is incredibly varied and it is not unusual for first-time buyers to feel overwhelmed by the amount of choice on offer. In order to help our readers relax, we have decided to go over some of the most popular types of gates we have available…

Manual & Automatic Gates

As the most basic options on the market, the way you choose to operate your gate is incredibly important. After all, some properties are more suitable for one type over the other. Here at Cheshire Metalcraft, we have both manual gates, which are operated by hand and are perfect for small high-street stores; and automatic gates, which are operated using a key fob or passcode and are perfect for large industrial properties or driveways.

Commercial Gates

For large properties where security is a priority, commercial gates are considered a necessity. After all, they are crafted from the highest-quality materials on the market in order to ensure that they are fit for purpose. Interestingly, these designs are much larger than the average residential gate and tend to come with automatic operation for ease of access. Looking into industrial swing gates is one area that these larger properties, perhaps for warehouses, can look into to find the best fit.

Single & Double Gates

Although there are many different gate designs to choose from, the two most popular are singular gates, which are perfect for front gardens; and double gates, which are the preferred choice for driveways. In fact, they can also be crafted from a variety of different materials in order to suit the requirements of the client.

Wrought Iron

The material that you craft your gates from can reflect its use. After all, wrought iron gates are incredibly durable and allow property owners to maintain their security when privacy isn’t as much of an issue. Plus, wrought iron can be implemented in a variety of different gate styles such as swinging, sliding and manual or automatic operation.

Timber Gates

On the other hand, timber gates offer a rustic aesthetic and are a great material choice for residential property owners who are looking to ramp up their security and privacy. After all, the majority of wooden gates are opaque, which means that your nosy neighbour will no longer make you uncomfortable by peeking through the bars.

A gate can be installed for a range of different reasons. After all, some property owners may have security and privacy in mind whereas others may be more concerned about the aesthetic value. Here at Cheshire Metalcraft, we are proud to say that we have a gate for every occasion!  To find out more information, get in contact with the best gates in Manchester and speak to a member of the team today!
