4 Ways a Welding Company Can Improve Ornamental Iron Fences
An elegant piece of many properties is an ornamental iron fence. The intricate designs and styles add curb appeal to a home but can go through a lot of wear and tear through the years and have exposure to outside elements like rain and wind. If you want to refurbish or make changes to an iron fence, then a welding company should be your first choice.
A welding company provides many services for wrought iron fences. When you know all of the options available, you have the opportunity to make the best decision for your fence upgrade improvements.
1. Repairs
If any parts of the fence have broken off, dented, or deteriorated, then a welding company can help with repairs. A key element of a welding company repair is a clean finish. The attention to detail and special tools can make the fence look brand new.
The repairs can restore the original look of a fence. Once the fence is back in place, you will not usually see patches or obvious locations where repairs happened. If windstorms caused major damage, welders also can help bend metal pieces and restore the original shape of the fence.
2. Expansions
Whether you change the look of your yard or want to expand the fence to more sections of your property, consider a welding company for expansion pieces of the fence. Using a piece of your original ornamental iron fence, a welding company can duplicate the fence design and create new pieces for your property.
The duplicated pieces can match seamlessly with your current fence design and include proper attachments to make installation easy. By using a piece of the fence you already have, a welding company can include the height matches and small style elements.
3. Accent Pieces
You may not need to add whole sections of a fence to your property, but you could add some design elements with accent pieces. Accent pieces attach to a fence design and add visual flair. When made with the same ornamental iron, the pieces have a nice aesthetic and stand out.
Accent pieces can include a wide range of designs. Ornamental iron pieces often feature nature-inspired designs like vines and leaves. Or, choose a more personalized accent piece like a monogrammed initial in the iron. The pieces can go in the middle of a fence or on an iron fence gate or sit on top of the fence.
Browse picture galleries for design ideas and inspiration. Visuals are the best way to showcase a welding shop your ideas to help bring the design to life with more accuracy.
4. Repurposing
In some cases, you may want to repurpose an iron gate for use in other parts of your property. For example, you could transform a perimeter fence into a balcony railing for the inside of your home. You may transform fence pieces to use on an angled area like deck stairs or front steps.
A welding company can heat and bend designs to fit in new locations. When you repurpose the fence pieces, you do not need a whole new fabrication and can keep a piece of history with the home. When outdoor pieces are moved indoors, a welding company will remove any defects and can clean up the edges to provide smooth edges.
A repurposed piece can create a special gift. For example, you can give a repurposed piece of an iron fence someone once had at their childhood home. Simple things like a fence design come with memories and nostalgia.
