What are Wrought Iron Gates (2010-12-05 20:33:45)
Wrought Iron gates can provide a substantial and decorative entryway, usually through a fence. An iron gate can be tipped with spikes for maximum security, or scalloped on top for a more welcoming appearance. Gates can be lavishly embellished with decorative wrought iron designs, or have a simple pattern of vertical iron bars. Many people think a hand-forged wrought iron gate adds a mark of taste and style in a home or public building.
Ornamental wrought iron gates can provide excellent security, while gracing an exterior space with rustic, Old World charm. Iron garden gates are a popular and tasteful addition to outdoor patios, yards and gardens. For a bolder statement, a large driveway gate elegantly announces the style and taste of the occupants. The gates can be securely latched to discourage intruders, or opened wide to welcome visiting guests. An electronic gate operator may be installed for ease of operation.
Iron gates may be hand-forged by a blacksmith, or manufactured in a factory setting. Hand forging requires a great deal of time, dexterity, strength and talent. The blacksmith places pre-formed metal rods in an intense fire, which is further stoked by forcing air through a bellows. Eventually the iron becomes red-hot and pliable, and the smithy then pounds, squeezes, bends and shapes the heated metal into decorative shapes. After the ornate bars are cooled, they are welded into their final form as iron gates.
