Custom scrollwork and accessories are small changes in your fence that can completely alter the overall look and imbue your fence with a distinct personality. These ornamental touches and embellishments have long been used as a way to add directive dimension to fencework. If you’re looking to make your home or business stand out, why not consider adding scrollwork to your aluminum fence?
Origins of Fence Scrollwork
The name scrollwork comes from the circular, scroll-like patterns that are used in the design of the fence. It is thought that this style was popularized by Greek art and later revived by Chinese potters. Today, scrollwork is reminiscent of beautiful Gothic architecture and the S-shapes scrolls on antique furniture pieces.
Elegant Butterfly Scrolls
How you decorate your fence will often be determined by the location and size of each aluminum fence panel. Elegant butterfly scrolls can fill in the blank spaces between pickets and provide a softer, more regal feeling to your entire fence. Depending on the finish you select, a butterfly scroll can be used to make your fence blend in or stand out from its surroundings.
Larger Estate Scrolls
Large estate scrolls can add even more pizzazz to your aluminum fence panels. Panels that are wider can feature large estate scrolls for a more stately look. Keep in mind the width of your pickets when determining what kind of scrollwork you’ll need.
Custom Scrollwork
Custom inlays at the center of your fence’s entrance can add a unique charm to your fence, bringing the entire picture of your property together. Many homeowners choose to add lettering to denote their name or a family mascot. For businesses, custom inlays are perfect for branding your property.
