Mac McCarthy of Welded Sculptures by Mac states that “ornamental iron is made with mild steel which is shaped by machines and is more available today so it is used more when fabricating and installing fences, gates, handrails, balconies, etc. Ornamental iron is steel and not forged or cast like Wrought Iron”.

Incorporating lighting into the design of an iron gate can further enhance its appeal. Strategically placed lights can highlight the intricate details of the gate, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere at night.

It is ideal for specific aluminum components prone to extreme wear environments and applications. You may also consider it in window and door applications, which require enhanced electrical insulation.

The term “wrought iron” often gets misused today to refer to any metalwork – often mild steel or cast iron – that’s designed to have the precise, intricate appearance of the classical wrought iron designs from the nineteenth century. However, to truly be wrought iron, the metal has to have been forged, heated, and hammered by a trained blacksmith, a process that’s become much rarer today than it was in the past. The hand craftsmanship that goes into its design and construction makes wrought iron a truly unique and special material today.
