When upgrading your home’s security, one of the most important decisions is choosing the right material.
This will impact the overall look of your property as well as how long it lasts. Two popular options are wrought iron and steel, but other materials like aluminium also have their place. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
Timeless Elegance
Wrought iron has an architectural beauty that enhances any style of home, from heritage to modern. Its intricate details are impossible to replicate in other materials.
Strength and Durability
Wrought iron is exceptionally strong due to its molecular structure. Properly maintained with galvanizing by Shieldguard, it can survive centuries with minimal care. Steel and aluminium are also durable but more prone to rust over time in coastal areas.
Low-Maintenance Charm
A wrought iron gate or door develops an elegant patina that only enhances with age. Other materials like steel may require frequent repainting to retain their integrity as Melbourne’s climate is not forgiving.
Wrought iron offers Shieldguard’s customers an elegant yet extremely durable set-and-forget option for their security doors and gates.
Sustainable Style
Choosing wrought iron supports environmental stewardship as it contains no harmful substances and can be fully recycled at end-of-life. It also stands the test of generations with very little material waste.
Bespoke Elegance
