Benefits of Ornamental Iron Fencing

Curb Appeal

Ornamental iron lends a wonderful sophistication to your property, whether you prefer a traditional style, a more formal Victorian look, or something more modern. It can also help to increase your property value.

Allows Light to Filter Through

Unlike other traditional fence materials that border your property, iron fencing doesn’t block sunlight and scenic views.

Strength and Security

You can count on ornamental iron fencing to keep your family and your property secure. The steel used in this type of fencing is not only incredibly strong, but it also gives onlookers the impression that your home is highly secure. That’s why you often see professional security gates made from this material. Potential trespassers see iron fencing and they know not to bother trying to intrude. It’s great for peace of mind when you’re concerned about the safety of your children or pets.

Durability

Ornamental iron fencing is galvanized metal – steel that’s coated in zinc to prevent rusting. And powder coating, a fine ground polyester powder that’s applied to the galvanized steel using specialized equipment and high heat, forms a seal around the metal that prevents corrosion. It’s much more durable than paint, which will eventually fade, chip, and expose the metal to the elements. Galvanized steel fencing requires little to no maintenance and can last as long as fifty years in rural areas and more than thirty years in cities and the suburbs.

As Beautiful as Wrought Iron Fencing But More Practical

Traditional wrought iron fencing is very expensive and has a difficult and lengthy manufacturing process. Ornamental iron fencing made from galvanized steel is just as beautiful but is also:

• Easier to manufacture, which means it’s much more affordable to make, as well as ship and transport
• Easier to match, and extend if you want to add on to your fence
• Can easily be modified later using iron fabrication to customize the look of your fencing
