Our range of aesthetically pleasing high quality gates here at Cheshire Metalcraft are created using a metal known as wrought iron however we often find that few people know much about it. After all, it’s not something you tend to learn about in school! In order to ease any confusion and help our readers learn a thing or too we have decided to dedicate a blog to some of the interesting facts you may not already know…

  • The very early pieces of wrought iron that were created by Americans were actually made with colder climates in mind, such as the climate in New England. This is because the metal is able to take the harsh elements much easier in comparison to other metals, making them excellent garden pieces. By adding a layer of paint during spring it is possible to keep a wrought iron piece of furniture in great condition for many years.

 

  • Since wrought iron is extremely heavy it also makes it incredibly durable in response to a range of different factors. For example, the continuously changing weather is something that the metal can handle with ease and it is not a material that can be very easily manipulated by law breakers which means that it is perfect for security!

 

  • If you are searching for a collectible piece of iron wrought furniture then you shouldn’t be put off by the way that it looks. After all, a lick of paint can make a huge difference and rust is something that is often quite easy to remedy.

There are so many things on the planet that the vast majority of us are unaware of which means that learning some of the facts and figures behind iron wrought is quite an interesting occasion! After all, who knew it had so much history before it’s use on our gates!
