Gate construction is a big one to watch out for too.  Unlike a fence panel that is fixed in place and does not move, the gates need to be able to support the weight of the entire leaf as well as any leverage force pressures exerted on them.  This is where a proper gate frame comes into play.  Many companies will simply weld two posts to the end of a fence section and call it a gate.  Functional, but not really all that strong.  You will sometimes see cross-bracing on wider gates as a band-aid to poor construction as well.  The correct way to make a gate is with a fully boxed and welded gate frame like our Stronghold Iron line.  That makes a solid, 3-sided frame that will withstand way more pressure and weight without cracking or deforming.  Here is an image showing the U-frame on one of our gates.

Both paint and powder coatings are common solutions, though powder coatings can’t be touched up on site when they chip, which makes them less practical for long term maintenance.  we typically hot dip galvanize our wrought iron, which adds a zinc coating to the metal, protecting it from oxidation. We then prime and paint over it for finishing.

What is Cast Iron?

Common models of fixed window profiles include: 6063-T5, 6061-T6, etc.

The digital age has also transformed how we find and purchase decorative items. Online marketplaces and social media platforms enable us to explore a vast array of options from artisans around the world. This accessibility allows for greater customization and uniqueness in our decorative choices, as we can easily source items that resonate with our personal style.

Notably, window and door aluminum profiles often have both male and female features in same profile.

2. Lubricate Rollers Periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant to the rollers and tracks. Avoid using oil-based products that can attract dirt.

II. Advantages of aluminum profiles for windows and doors

Despite these advantages, metal taps can be more expensive and may require more effort during installation due to their weight and complexity. Moreover, certain metals are susceptible to corrosion, especially in harsh environments, necessitating the use of protective coatings or alloys.

5. Check Alignment After making your adjustments, check if the door is level. Use a level if necessary. If the door leans to one side, you may need to adjust one roller more than the other to achieve a balance.

You can use it as a decorative feature for hiding unsightly screw heads on the surface material.

Creating Art or Decorative Items

Security is paramount when investing in a fence. In fact, it’s the primary purpose of fencing: to keep your property safe and secure. It keeps pets and children in, and intruders out. As such, this is not something you can overlook in the fencing selection process.
