Ornamental iron is a general term for decorative metalwork used to add style, security, or architectural detail to a home or building. It is commonly used for
fences, gates, railings, stair balusters, window guards, and balcony panels. Ornamental iron can be made from solid bar, tube, pickets, scrolls, and cast or stamped components, then welded or assembled into a finished design. Because it is often installed outdoors, it usually needs corrosion protection such as primer and paint, powder coating, or galvanizing. Regular cleaning and touch up of chips or scratches helps extend the life of the finish and prevent rust on the underlying metal.
