You’ve probably come across two materials as you research the best options: aluminum fence vs wrought iron. Both can help you upgrade your property’s aesthetic and security simultaneously. But, which is better: an aluminum vs wrought iron fence? 

There is a current trend where the most fashionable thing in construction, both residential and office, is large glazing. Interestingly, the best material for such large windows is aluminium. Thanks to aluminium, architects and investors alike can let their imagination run wild and design huge windows in rooms, often even covering an entire wall! What’s more, aluminium blends in perfectly with simple yet modern shapes, making it a fashionable element in the construction industry.

Both paint and powder coatings are common solutions, though powder coatings can’t be touched up on site when they chip, which makes them less practical for long term maintenance.  we typically hot dip galvanize our wrought iron, which adds a zinc coating to the metal, protecting it from oxidation. We then prime and paint over it for finishing.

Overall, decorative cast iron elements are a timeless and elegant choice for adding beauty and charm to any space. Whether used in building facades, furniture, or art pieces, cast iron elements are sure to make a lasting impression. Their durability, versatility, and intricate designs make them a popular choice for architects, designers, and artists alike. So next time you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your home or building, consider incorporating decorative cast iron elements into your design.

The term “wrought iron” often gets misused today to refer to any metalwork – often mild steel or cast iron – that’s designed to have the precise, intricate appearance of the classical wrought iron designs from the nineteenth century. However, to truly be wrought iron, the metal has to have been forged, heated, and hammered by a trained blacksmith, a process that’s become much rarer today than it was in the past. The hand craftsmanship that goes into its design and construction makes wrought iron a truly unique and special material today.
