While aluminum does have its merits, it just can’t compete with the grandeur and reliability that wrought iron brings to the table. It really only has an edge in the short term cost consideration and maintenance needs.

Moreover, a single driveway gate can enhance your privacy. Depending on its design, it can shield your front yard from prying eyes, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor spaces without feeling exposed.

Aluminium profiles have emerged as a leading choice in the construction of window frames, thanks to their excellent durability, design flexibility, and thermal efficiency. The use of aluminium profiles for windows not only enhances aesthetics but also optimizes energy performance, making them a popular option for both residential and commercial applications.

Aluminum is also more cost-effective upfront, but this may vary based on the quality and style you choose. It offers a modern look but is versatile enough to complement a wide range of property styles. Now, let’s introduce the other half of the aluminum vs wrought iron fence debate.

Aluminum window frames offer a sleek and modern aesthetic that complements various architectural styles. They can be extruded into almost any shape or size, allowing for a broad range of design options. Additionally, aluminum can be finished with powder coating or anodizing to provide a wide variety of colors and textures, enabling architects and designers to create unique and attractive appearances. This versatility has made aluminum a preferred choice for both residential and commercial buildings.

Decorative Touches

Another example is floor-to-ceiling windows or large picture windows. These are usually available up to the maximum size of the glass. Compared with timber or PVCu windows, aluminium offers both smaller and larger windows, bigger glass sizes, and slimmer frames.

Wrought iron has a much lower carbon content (usually less than .08%), but it contains small amounts (1 to 2%) of slag, the byproduct of iron ore smelting consisting of silicon, sulfur, phosphorus, and aluminum oxides). The lower mixture of carbon makes the metal more malleable and ductile. As the material is heated, reheated, and hammered into shape the slag is worked out of the iron and the material grows progressively stronger and more fibrous in composition. Wrought iron will often undergo at least about a half dozen cycles of heating and working.

Plastic Taps Lightweight and Corrosion-Resistant

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.
