Let’s look into the characteristics that show why homeowners agree choosing wrought iron gates is the way to go!
Choosing a gate for one’s home can be a nail-biting decision. It is a semi-permanent construct and functions as the dominant aesthetic for the approach of your property. Luckily, wrought iron gates are known for their elegant aesthetic as well as sturdiness. Both of these concepts are crucial when constructing a gate. Let’s look into the characteristics that show why homeowners agree choosing wrought iron gates is the way to go!
Appearance
In contrast to wood gates, wrought iron gates are flexible in that a simple or elegant style is aesthetically pleasing. Typically, wrought iron gates have a multitude of design choices ranging from sculptured elements to modern minimalist features. No matter the design, wrought iron gates instantly increase your property value and curb appeal. If trouble arises when deciding on paint color, consider doing some research into iron and metal fence coloring.
Privacy and Security
Aside from appearance, security is another main concern for homeowners when deciding on their fence and gate system. Wrought iron gates naturally provide a sturdier structure to deter intruders. Automatic gate openers also work with wrought iron fences so that you do not need to sacrifice convenience for security.
In addition, a sufficiently secure design climbing over a wrought iron gate can prove to be very difficult. Lastly, utilizing an elaborate design over the gate and greater fence area, such as ornamental iron, can obscure the view from any prying eyes. Medium or high height gates can achieve this.
Maintenance and Durability
Despite having a higher initial cost, wrought iron gates often require very little maintenance outside cleaning and repainting if the gate is painted. Wrought iron gates also stand up the best against severe weather. Whether it is due to the weight of the iron or the sturdiness of the structure, wrought iron gates will not be uprooted or damaged in simple storms that may severely damage wood and vinyl-based gates. In addition, these gates will often last decades if properly maintained. Even if a piece were to be damaged, this does not require the entire gate to be replaced.
