Wrought Iron and Laser Cut Gate
The gate is the first part of a building anyone sees; wrought iron and laser cutting make that first impression specific to the project.
Wrought iron means steel shaped by hot forging and bending; because each piece is formed by hand, even a repeated motif is never exactly identical. Laser cutting, by contrast, is computer controlled cutting of sheet and repeats to the millimetre. Used together, the warmth of handwork and the precision of the line meet in the same gate.
The real risk with a decorative gate is corrosion; the richer the pattern, the more exposed surface and cut edge there is. That is why we shot blast and prime the body and apply the topcoat over the primer. Paint put straight onto bare sheet starts lifting at the edges within a few years.
Pattern density is also a question of security. A dense, solid face hides what is behind it but adds wind load and weight; a sparse pattern is lighter but can offer a foothold for climbing. We decide the pattern by talking through which job the gate has to do first.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Because the cutting is computer controlled, a vector drawing or a clear image is enough. We rescale the pattern to the size of the gate and put it in front of you for approval before cutting begins.
A steel body will rust if it is not prepared properly. When shot blasting, primer and topcoat are applied in the right order the gate gives no trouble for a long time; a yearly visual check is enough to catch scratches and impact marks early.
