The beauty and strength of the forged iron make it the best choice against any other building materials for gates and fences.
Wrought iron can be easily processed into various interesting shapes and patterns as it is malleable, offering both gates and fences a really unique aspect. Forged iron can be used both inside and outside the house. Wrought iron products are suited to any architectural style and add value to any space around which they are mounted.
Forged iron exceeds the durability of any other gate and fence materials, and this reduces maintenance costs, since neither the gate nor the fence surrounding the home will need to be replaced or repaired.
Tips for maintenance of wrought iron gates and fences
Wrought iron confections are very easy to maintain.
Despite its durability, forged iron can be prone to problems like rust. The climate of the area where the wrought iron gate and fence are arranged has a great influence on the general state of the metal, but if kept regularly, it maintains its appealing aspect. Rust stains should be removed using a fine wire brush. If the iron is very rusty you can use smooth coarse-grain sandpaper to remove the rust. The next step is to apply a thin layer of paint. Prior to paint application, the iron should be cleaned and degreased, with no traces of dust for the best adhesion.
It is recommended that the maintenance of the gate or of the fence is carried out at least twice a year, especially if the gate or the fence is mounted in an area with high humidity.
With proper maintenance, any wrought iron work can last for over 50 years.
