Featured Work – March 2022 / Thumb
Looking for a few reasons to justify an investment in custom iron handrails? Although it may not appear obvious, iron railings make a huge visual impact offering extreme versatility and provide the strength to ensure safety and security for your home. One of the best investments is installing iron railings both inside and outside not only to add a decorative element but safety as well. Quality upgrades such as iron railings increase the value of your home with little maintenance and added appeal.
Maintenance
It’s true that nothing lasts forever, and iron is no exception. Over time, exterior wrought iron railings will succumb to the weather, forming rust that eventually weakens it. However, with proper maintenance, this can be avoided. Not only that, but iron requires very little effort to maintain.
The Benefits of Iron Railings
Wrought iron has a number of advantages over alternative materials used for railings production like steel, wood and so on. Our iron railings are powder-coated for extra protection from the elements. Iron railings that are sealed and properly maintained can last for 25 years or longer for indoor railings. To keep your railings looking their best, you can clean them with mild, soapy water and cloth. A toothbrush can be used to scrub away any rust spots and to get into the intricate details of the design. An annual inspection is a great way to prevent any long-term damage. The powder coating can be reapplied to add continued protection over time
Wrought Iron Railings Are Highly Customizable
Iron railings are a unique element that adds taste and are both functional and decorative pieces. The team at Appalachian Ironworks create wrought iron pieces that are made to fit the needs of our customers. Whether you want an understated railing or curved details, our team can create the perfect railing to compliment your home. Iron railings also allow you to combine style elements. For example, an ornate traditional railing on a deck can be combined with modern glass for a look that’s unexpected yet undeniably attractive. As well, you can choose to have a more modern-looking railing outside while sticking to a more romantic railing for your interior staircase. We think Iron is always a perfect match for wooden steps.
