There are two main types of vertical members for wrought iron fences. The first type, spires, are the vertical pieces of wrought iron that serve as the fence “posts.” On the other hand, pickets are the vertical elements that make up the center of a fencing panel. Where spires act as posts for the fence, pickets are welded to the fencing rails. Often, pickets will feature decorative elements.

Residential Buildings: Aluminium window profiles are used in residential homes for their aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, and resistance to weather conditions. They are ideal for creating custom window designs that suit individual preferences and architectural styles.

How to choose the right aluminium window

What are aluminum profiles and their uses?

Top swing reversible windows are also mainly used in high-rise buildings, but they could be worth considering for the home. Essentially, these operate in precisely the same way as top-hung casement windows, but they use a very sophisticated friction-stay mechanism. The window is opened to its normal opening position and then stops as a standard opened window.  Upon releasing a catch on the friction stays, the window continues to open out still further and reverses back on itself, bringing the outside pane to the inside.

The appeal of wrought iron railing panels lies not only in their aesthetic but also in their resilience. They are incredibly strong and durable, able to withstand harsh weather conditions and the test of time. This makes them ideal for outdoor applications like balcony railings, garden gates, or staircase balustrades, providing both safety and style.

Aluminum corner guards do well to protect wood materials, especially in residential spaces. Because aluminum can be customized for many decorative applications, using them as corner guards to adapt to the overall aesthetic of the home, wouldn’t be a problem.
