Let’s talk numbers for a moment. After all, one of the most commonly asked questions we see is in regard to the wrought iron vs aluminum fence cost. 

What are the Differences Between Cast Iron and Wrought Iron?

Wrought iron is generally longer-lasting than cast iron. As we said, cast iron is harder but it’s also more brittle. The extra carbon in its molecular structure compared with wrought iron results in internal stress points that are more likely to fracture under extreme stress rather than bend. There are advantages and disadvantages to this: cast iron is more likely to retain its exact shape without undergoing any warping or bending.
