Aluminum profiles are metal materials. Aluminum add various metal elements to make various alloys, which have advantages that other alloy profiles cannot match. Aluminum alloys has light weight and high strength, and can be extruded into a variety of complex cross-section profiles meeting the requirements of door and window design for various new sections.

There are an enormous amount of decorative elements used on wrought iron fencing, and one of the most common are called scrolls. These are a form of spire decoration and their construction is based on the top of a spire curling around itself. Other aesthetic elements include things like S and C scrolls (scrolls that form the shape of these letters), twists that can be customised to virtually any shape or form, decorative insets, symbols and symmetrical elements. Other popular wrought iron fence elements include spirals, swirls, spears, vines, intricate curves, arches, twisted columns, gothic shapes, baroque-inspired designs and circle and sphere accents.

Cast iron fencing is typically chosen for its ornate and precise designs, made possible by the casting process which allows intricate patterns and shapes. This type of fencing is quite strong and can withstand significant wear. However, cast iron is technically more brittle than wrought iron: meaning it’s more likely to crack or break rather than bend if subjected to high impact or pressure.

Here’s a helpful guide to the various parts of your beautiful wrought iron fence.

After completing the designing process using computer software, steel die for producing the design is also produced.
