Wrought iron fences are a classic, timeless feature of many historical and municipal properties. But when it comes to installing a wrought iron fence for your own home, this might not be the most practical choice. Wrought iron fences are heavy, expensive, and require very attentive maintenance in order to keep them from rusting and showing age. If you’re in love with the look of a wrought iron fence, however, then Hercules Fence of Washington D.C. can recommend some alternatives that come with serious advantages of their own: ornamental steel and ornamental aluminum.
Ornamental steel fences are the most similar in appearance to wrought iron fences, but with added benefits. Steel is easier to produce than wrought iron, yet it is just as strong and is in fact one of the most durable fencing options available to you. You can select an ornamental steel fence in black, to give it that classic iron look, or in another color, such as white, bronze, or hunter green, to add a unique touch of your own to it. Because ornamental steel is not painted to give it color, you will not have to worry about chipping paint.
Ornamental aluminum also can be made to resemble wrought iron. Aluminum fences, however, are much lighter and so installing them is a much simpler process than many other fencing types. Ornamental aluminum is extremely durable and weather-resistant; no matter what kind of climate you live in, an aluminum fence will be able to stand up to the elements.
Are you trying to get the look of a wrought iron fence without the expense, the maintenance, and the hassle? Ornamental steel and ornamental aluminum fencing may be the perfect choice for you. Call Hercules Fence of Washington D.C. today for more details!
