One of the most captivating aspects of ornamental steel is its ability to complement a wide range of architectural styles. In modern designs, sleek and minimalist ornamental steel can add a touch of sophistication, seamlessly blending into the overall aesthetic. Conversely, in traditional settings, elaborately detailed wrought ironwork can evoke a sense of history and craftsmanship that enriches the visual narrative of the structure. The range of finishes—from polished to painted—further expands the creative potential, allowing for customization that meets the clientele's desires.

Wrought Iron vs. Aluminum and Steel | A Guide to Metal Fencing

Because of the particularity of its surface treatment, aluminum alloy door and window profiles have strict requirements on product packaging and transportation.

The building of these fences involves cast iron panels, which are then fastened to posts positioned at regular intervals around the perimeter of the property. Iron may also be used to form the posts themselves; however, iron panels are often affixed to brick or concrete posts to create a more ornate look. Iron can also be used to make panels attached to brick or concrete posts. 

Ensure that the chose aluminum profile meets the design specifications, including the required quality, structural, aesthetics, finish and compatibility with other building materials.

As we look to the future, the role of ornamental steel in design will likely continue to evolve. As public interest in aesthetics grows alongside an appreciation for functional design, the demand for ornamental steel is expected to rise. Innovative designs will likely blend technology and artisan craftsmanship, paving the way for new trends that celebrate both form and function.

Repaint Your Fence
Before you start painting, it might be a good idea to add a primer to your fence. Make sure you’re buying a primer that’s specifically made for metal, as these can be purchased with rust inhibiting qualities. Once you’ve applied your primer, choose your paint colour and use a small paint brush to cover all areas of your fence with a thin coat of paint. Allow the paint to dry fully before applying a second coat. We recommend a paint such as hammerite to re-coat paintwork when necessary.

Types of Aluminum Profiles for Windows and Doors, Their Advantages and How to Choose

Fence brackets are unique to wrought iron fences and often used to hold the fencing components to the posts. These slide over the rails, are set against the posts and are often then secured with a self-tapping screw to hold everything together. Aluminium fencing does not use brackets. Instead, rails are slid into punches in an aluminium post and then a self-tapping screw is driven through the post and into a rail inside it in order to secure everything.
