Ease of use is another important aspect of window and door fittings. The right fittings should not only look good but also function smoothly. For windows, options like casement, sliding, or tilt-and-turn mechanisms can provide different levels of convenience for accessing ventilation. For doors, choices like sliding patio doors or French doors can enhance accessibility and flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Homeowners should consider how often the windows and doors will be used and select fittings that offer both ease of operation and aesthetic appeal.

In today's environmentally conscious world, energy efficiency is more important than ever. Quality window and door fittings can greatly contribute to better energy performance in a home. For example, weatherstripping and insulated window frames help minimize air leaks, keeping interiors comfortable regardless of external temperatures. This can lead to significant savings on heating and cooling costs, as homeowners rely less on HVAC systems. By investing in high-quality fittings that prioritize insulation and energy efficiency, homeowners can reduce their carbon footprint while enjoying a more comfortable living environment.

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.

However, there are certain situations where iron may be a better choice than steel. For example, cast iron is a type of iron that contains small amounts of carbon and other alloying elements, making it stronger and more wear-resistant than regular iron. Cast iron is commonly used in applications that require high strength and resistance to abrasion, such as engine blocks, cookware, and industrial machinery.
