The Beauty of Ornamental Cast Iron Panels

While cast iron can be used to duplicate specific patterns and historical designs very precisely on a larger scale (specifically designs with a great degree of ornate detail), wrought iron is generally more highly sought after for its one-of-a-kind bespoke craftsmanship. Wrought iron is ideal for a statement piece: each work is hand-forged by trained artisans and the resulting product can be shaped and formed to your exact specifications in ways that make them truly stand out from less custom-fabricated materials.
