Pros & Cons of Using Wrought Iron for Fences

- it is custom and unique.

Production Process for Wrought Iron & Ornamental Iron Fences
These are two of the more popular options for potential fences on Long Island. And we are familiar with both and can expertly install a new fence onto your home or property today. One reason for the differences between these two types of fences is due to the production process. Both iron and steel are heat treated by fire, which increases their strength. However, the formation processes are different.
Manufacturers use charcoal firing to create wrought iron fences. Some may also use a cast-iron process. The steel is created after the addition and subtraction of several natural and man-made compounds. But the true wrought iron fences are hand-shaped by blacksmiths or master craftsman. Due to this custom hand-shaping, it takes time to produce a wrought-iron fence. For the most part, when you want a wrought iron fence it needs to be custom ordered.
This differs from the production of ornamental iron fences, which are machine made. Due to this, ornamental iron fence can be manufactured in large quantities and thus bought and sold in bulk. Since the production is quicker, the price is less. But you can get on with the installation sooner.
If you want a genuine iron fence, you are out of luck. Since the introduction of steel, iron has not been commercially available. But you can steel get the look and feel of iron with a wrought iron fence. Which is something we can produce for you.
