While the name might imply that an ornamental iron fence is only used for aesthetic purposes, it actually has quite a bit of practical application as a security fence. This is especially true in a commercial setting, where the look of chain link or barbed wire might not be consistent with the image you are trying to project of your business. An ornamental iron fence is one of the most versatile fences out there. Here’s why you should consider ornamental iron for your commercial security fencing needs.
A Pillar of Strength
The biggest draw of ornamental iron in fencing is how strong it is. It can resist rust and corrosion, and is more than capable of standing up to the unpredictable Mid-Atlantic weather. It’s built to last and acts as an anchor of a commercial property. It’s difficult to climb over or walkthrough, making it ideal for security purposes.
Design Options
Ornamental iron fencing is one of the most versatile in terms of design choices. You can go with a more streamlined approach featuring minimalistic stylistic points. Or you can opt for a more ornate design with European-style. In addition, ornamental iron fences pair nicely with a number of gate and other access control systems. Whether you’re looking for a motorized gate, a rolling gate, or anything in-between, ornamental iron will be a natural pair.
Low Maintenance Needs
No matter what kind of fence material you choose, you’ll have to perform regular maintenance to keep it looking beautiful and extend its lifespan. We’ve mentioned how long-lasting iron is when used for a fence design, but keeping up with its maintenance needs will ensure it looks its best for decades to come. And luckily, ornamental iron is one of the easiest materials to maintain. Inspect the paneling on the fence every few months, and if you chose to have your fence painted, plan on repainting once every couple of years. Instruct your lawn care team to avoid dinging the finish with their edging tools – this will protect the finish and prevent corrosion from seeping in.
