Read on as today we’re going through the pros and cons of investing in wrought iron gates…

Pros:

  • Strong: When it comes to choosing wrought iron, you notice straight away that this material is incredibly durable. A gate designed with wrought iron can last for decades when created in the correct way and regularly maintained. That is why you see many gates still standing from the 19th and 20th centuries!
  • Aesthetic: Aside from the incredible durability, wrought iron gates also offer the look too. Its aesthetic is gracefully designed to be the perfect fit for any property for homeowners looking for a timeless and safe exterior.

Cons:

  • The rarity of this material: An issue with choosing wrought iron gates is the difficulty of retrieving the material with ease. There aren’t many gate manufacturers crafting with wrought iron in 2022 as newer, lower quality alternatives have taken over.
  • Rusting: Wrought iron can rust if it’s not being maintained properly. It’s important to take note that with a regular coat of a protective sealant, you can prevent rusting. With the correct care, you can ensure that you won’t have to deal with rust issues.

We believe that our range of wrought iron gates is the best on the market. However, not all properties will benefit from these gates, and we understand that there are many different reasons for this, such as client preferences or the size of the exterior of the property. We take all of the pros, cons, and any possible situations into consideration to help benefit the safety of your home.
