Advantages of Wrought Iron Fencing
If you’re looking for a heavy-duty fence and have a need for security, wrought-iron fence is the best fence out there. Wrought iron holds up well if you expect excessive wear and tear over the years. Because it’s such a heavy material, wrought iron is the best fit for high security environments, like prisons and government buildings. You’ll also see a lot of wrought iron in historic districts as this was the most popular material used aside from wood for many years. Wrought iron also works best when installed on flat terrain and requires custom fabrication, meaning you will need professional equipment on your property to complete installation.
Being a light and pliable metal, aluminum is used to create a variety of products like window and door frames, top-quality semi-finished products, curtain walls, etc.
The process of extrusion in aluminum usually involves the passage of a solid aluminum billet into a die. This is typically done with the assistance of a high-pressure hydraulic press, or ram, to force the block into the die.
Country cottages require a fence that’s a little more on the delicate side while still oozing plenty of charm. You’ll often see simple timber picket fences on these types of homes, however, wrought iron can offer a quaint alternative with the inclusion of spiral features or simple arches.
