These differing methods result in materials that, while they’re both iron, have significant differences in cost, strength, hardness, malleability, and chemical composition.

Post caps are another place where cost cuts can be made.  Lots of manufacturers will use a stamped steel standard cap which is easier to produce and squish on the top of the post.  For the more decorative ball style post caps, some will make them out of aluminum, or worse, plastic.  Our Stronghold Iron fence line uses cast iron caps for both styles that you can see in the photos below.  The cast iron gives it a nice textured and authentic appearance.

According to the regulations, from 2021 onwards, the Uw value of a vertical window must not exceed 0.9 W/(m2*K). However, it is worth mentioning that each of the two basic elements that make up a window, namely the frame and the glazing, have a different thermal transmittance. Consequently, the thermal transmittance of the glazing Ug is lower than that of the profile Uf, which makes the glazing a warmer window element. Uw is, in turn, only the resultant of the two values we mentioned.
