Contact local scrap yards or recycling centers to find out if they accept wrought iron. Because wrought iron can be heavy and bulky, inquire whether the facility offers pick-up services, which can be particularly useful for large quantities of metal.
The surface of the wood grain finish should be smooth and flat, and no obvious inclusions. The wood pattern is clear and there is no obvious leakage and crease. However, creases and no wood grain patterns are allowed at the corners and grooves. If the wood grain pattern is ghosted or blurred, the finish is unqualified.


Most ornamental iron fences are machine made. They can be manufactured in large quantities and bought/sold in bulk.“Genuine” iron fences have not been commercially available since steel was popularized. However, you can still find the pieces needed to create a wrought iron fence, but rarely, if at all, will you find a true wrought iron fence manufacturer or mass producer.
Wrought iron is generally more expensive than cast iron, primarily due to the labor-intensive process of making it. Each piece is usually custom-made and requires a high level of skill and attention from trained blacksmiths: the more intricate the design, the more significant the time and labor costs that accompany it.
Aluminium Extrusion Profiles and Their Applications in the Windows and Doors Segment
The window profile, or window frame, can be made mainly from three different materials: plastic, i.e. PVC, wood and aluminium. Plastic profiles are the most common and the most economical. Laminated timber frames are valued for their naturalness and rigidity, which is particularly important for larger patio windows. However, they are more expensive, heavier and require regular maintenance. Aluminium profiles, on the other hand, although they have the highest cost, are the most rigid, durable and maintenance-free. This is why their share of the market is steadily increasing, although due primarily to their high price, they still do not exceed a few percent.
