Maintenance and Care

Large Scale Jobs. If you need a lot of fencing, and/or you need it quickly, ornamental iron is the way to go. Steel fences are factory produced in mass quantities and often available in-stock. They are more easily shipped. Because they weigh less, they are easier to work with, so your job will go faster. When tackling a big project at a large scale, ornamental iron is most often the best choice.

The use of iron in decorative arts dates back to ancient times, but it was during the Middle Ages that wrought iron began to gain popularity for both functional and ornamental purposes. Artisans meticulously crafted rod iron scrolls, which became a hallmark of Gothic architecture. These decorative elements were often employed in cathedrals and castles, symbolizing strength and elegance while providing essential structural support. With the Renaissance era ushering in a renewed interest in artistry and design, rod iron scrolls evolved further, showcasing elaborate patterns and designs that reflected the aesthetic ideals of the time.

Length of an extruded profile is dependent on billet and die opening sizes. There is a runout conveyor, which supports the formed extrusion profile as it comes out of the extrusion press.

In the doors segment, aluminium extrusion profiles offer numerous advantages over traditional materials such as wood or uPVC. One significant application is in the manufacturing of entrance doors, where aluminium profiles provide exceptional strength and security. The inherent rigidity of aluminium extrusions makes it difficult to break or damage, ensuring the safety of the building’s occupants.

One of the key benefits of using aluminium for window frames is its strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminium is significantly lighter than traditional materials like steel, yet it maintains exceptional strength, allowing for larger glazing areas. This characteristic enables architects and builders to design windows that maximize natural light while providing a contemporary look. Additionally, aluminium profiles can be produced in a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes, giving homeowners and builders ample options to fit different architectural styles.
