While both iron and steel are heat treated by fire to increase their strength, the formation processes they undergo are different.
Wrought iron or cast iron? Which one is the more robust material?
Cast iron fencing is typically chosen for its ornate and precise designs, made possible by the casting process which allows intricate patterns and shapes. This type of fencing is quite strong and can withstand significant wear. However, cast iron is technically more brittle than wrought iron: meaning it’s more likely to crack or break rather than bend if subjected to high impact or pressure.
If you still aren’t sold on wrought iron fencing, explore other styles like chain link fences, vinyl fencing, security fences, masonry fences, metal fences, and more that we’re equipped to offer.
