Protecting And Storing Wrought Iron Furniture

Now that we've reached mid Autumn, a large number of homeowners who own wrought-iron furniture will be looking to protect it from cold temperatures as well as rain and in some cases snow.

Once the winter arrives bad whether is all but guaranteed which tends to take its toll rather quickly on furniture made of wrought and ornamental iron. Homeowners however needn't fret as there are ways to both protect and store furniture made of wrought iron safely until warmer weather returns.

You might be saying to yourself, "but my iron furniture is protected by a finish that was applied in the factory", but these finishes wear away quickly if the furniture has seen a fair amount of inclement weather.

If you need to store and protect your iron furniture and are no longer using it because it's gotten cold outside you can do so by cleaning your furniture before storing it which will help reduce and retard rust as well as wear and tear caused by other elements. Your best bet is going to be utilize a sponge and some warm water along with a few drops of dish soap. You'll then need to rinse your furniture off, most likely with a garden hose, and check all the furniture for rusty areas. Any rust that is found should be treated and removed before the furniture is put into storage.

Once furniture is clean homeowners can apply a dab of automobile wax with a dry cleaning cloth. This will protect iron furniture from the elements during his time in storage and will ensure that looks great when it's taken out come springtime. Lastly, once furniture is in storage homeowners should be sure to cover it with outdoor furniture covers for added protection.

Should you have any questions or concerns about protecting and storing your wrought iron furniture please be sure to contact us that we may help.

One of the newer uses wrought iron has seen outside is its use as trim or a border indicator around barbecue pits and other types of cooking areas in backyards.

Let's Talk About Your Outdoor Furniture

When it comes to outdoor furniture for home there are no materials that can match wrought-iron in terms of durability, longevity, and something much more important in the eyes of some homeowners, being a conversation piece.

Homeowners concerned with having conversations with guests regarding their furniture have no other choice but to select furniture made from ornamental wrought iron. This is because furniture made of wood and cheaper metal are often assembly-line pieces with no personal touch or style added to them. Furthermore there many manufacturers that allow consumers to customize their outdoor furniture order and create designs that will have everyone talking about them, regardless of whether or not they actually have an affinity for outdoor furniture.

Does Your Wine Cellar Door Wow Your Guests?

When your guests come to your home to visit your wine cellar the first they're going to see is the iron door that stands at the front of their wine cellar. If you spent money having a wine seller put together and considerable time and money collecting all the wine inside, you'll undoubtedly want this iron door to amaze your guests. You'll also want your wine cellar door to assist in the protection of your wine.

Wine cellar doors should be whether stripped, insulated, and durable enough to avoid the warping which can occur in some of the less expensive and less reputable wine cellar doors. Additionally doors that cover the entryway of a wine cellar should be iron rather than wood because the low temperatures in a wine cellar can cause wood to warp and the finish to diminish rapidly in a short period of time. Iron doors however are prone to the warping, cracking, and peeling that wooden wine cellar doors are.

In order to ensure that your guests are blown away by your wine cellar door be sure to select an iron door that mirrors your personality and individual tastes. You might even want to consider having a custom door made! Though the selection process can take some time, spending considerable time looking through what's available and even coming up with a good custom idea for your iron wine cellar door will ensure that your door both protects your wine and impress your guests. Be sure to contact us if/when you need assistance!

Custom Wine Cellar Doors

The very first question you must answer is, ‘where is your wine cellar?’ Is it on the exterior of your home, or the interior? If it is outside then the weather will play a big part in your choice. It will also make a difference when your wine cellar was constructed. Old time cellars had a slanted door and did little to control the interior of the cellar. You don’t find many of that type in California unless they were built early in the twentieth century.

However if your exterior wine cellar door is vertical a solid wood door would work. You could design the door yourself and have it custom made and hung by a reliable professional company. You would also want a sturdy deadbolt lock on the door so no one other than yourself, could enter the wine cellar. When you have quality wine in your cellar you may also want it to be part of your home security system.

If you take guests into your wine cellar, the door will be very important. You may want it to have your initials carved in the center of the heavy door. The door will be the first thing your guests see when they enter the cellar. That door will show what quality of wine you will serve your guests.

The proper insulation will be a necessity. Top, bottom, and sides of the door should be efficient to keep out moisture, wind, and weather in particular. If the steps to your cellar are just inside the door, the door should swing outward. If there is a slab inside the door it may swing inward to allow you to be on level ground before descending down the stairs.

If your wine cellar door is on the interior of your home, there are different types of doors that will serve your purpose. Again it needs to be a sturdy insulated door, and you could also have it custom made to show that you are entering a special place. In the wine cellar you will want it to maintain the proper temperature and the entrance door will be the controller of that.

A lock on the door would control any unwanted visitors into the area such as children or their friends. Also to insure that the door does its duty to show the quality of the items within, the door could have designs or even fancy lettering declaring Wine Cooler Within.

Iron Doors: Stepping Up Home Security

Securing a home involves making a number of additions and adjustments to a home. Among these additions and adjustments are locks, security cameras, dates, and even fences. What many people overlook over when they're considering stepping up their own security is the iron door.

More often than not when individuals think of security and iron doors they associate the two with something like a wine cellar. While many wine collectors will utilize an iron door at the front of their one seller for both security and aesthetic reasons, there are a large number of people who do the same thing for the fronts and backs of their homes.

Not only are iron doors more difficult to subvert but they're also heavy and usually come with locks that are extra sturdy to boot. Burglars and other individuals of a conscienceless nature are far more likely to bypass homes that utilize iron doors in her entryways than they are homes that utilize standard worst even substandard doors.

Protecting the things that you worked hard for or earned over the years is important. If you'd like to use iron doors in order to step up security around your home please be sure to contact us or that we may help!

An Iron Door Holiday Season

Now that November has finally rolled around the holidays are on everyone's mind. Not only have many people started shopping for gifts and started handing out invitations to holiday parties but many homeowners are preparing their homes for the arrival of friends and family and even coworkers.

Though there isn't much, there is still some time to pick out things like new windows and even iron doors, have them custom made, delivered, and installed before the holiday season officially arrives. Having something like an iron door installed at the front of the home prior to holiday gatherings and parties will give guests something to look at and talk about as well as envy.

Custom Iron Doors

Until recently, wrought iron doors of all sizes and shapes were available only in predesigned designs if you will and homeowners looking for a custom-made wrought iron door were either forced to pay an arm and a leg for their door or were simply out of luck because they were able to find vendor or manufacturer who took custom orders.

These days modern vendors and manufacturers of wrought iron doors readily take custom orders from customers and offer custom-made doors at an affordable and fair price. What this means is that homeowners are no longer forced to purchase a design (unless they find one they like) that was dreamed up by someone else. Many homeowners take great pride in their home and therefore go to great lengths to decorate the interior and exterior of their homes which sometimes includes a wrought iron door. As many homeowners go to great lengths to add their personal tastes to the decor of their homes, it is of great benefit to have the ability to have a custom-made wrought iron door manufactured.

A custom iron door can be ordered from almost any vendor or manufacturer these days and can be used for front doors, backdoors, wine cellar doors, practically anywhere a homeowner wants to place one. Should you have any questions about having a custom-made iron door created for you please do not hesitate to contact us!

Why Ornamental Iron Is Great

Ornamental iron has been popular with homeowners for many, many years. Its popularity is due to a number of things, all of which allow homeowners to not only use ornamental iron in a number of different ways but to get quite a bit out of their purchase as opposed to what they would receive if they were to choose alternative materials like wood, vinyl, or cheap metal.

Of all the things that make ornamental iron so popular it is the decorative aspect that perhaps stands head and shoulders above all others. Ornamental iron is available to consumers in premade shapes, sizes, and colors though these days homeowners who have an interest in ornamental iron will have no problem finding a vendor or manufacturer who is willing to make them custom iron doors, stair railings, and railings for decks and porches. Generally speaking ornamental iron used in doors and railings is much more decorative and aesthetically pleasing then say wood or some type of polymer material.

Another reason why ornamental iron is so popular with homeowners is because it is one of the most durable materials a home owner can use in their home. Furthermore its high durability allows it to be usable indoors and outdoors which is why it's not uncommon to see ornamental iron railings around gazebos or areas of a yard or deck that a homeowner wants to showcase and define. As if being made from it an extremely durable metal alloy wasn't enough, the majority of ornamental iron is treated with some type of protective paint or clear coating making the iron even more durable than it naturally is.

The durability of ornamental iron lends itself to its longevity which is something else homeowners appreciate in the product. Even those homeowners who use ornamental iron to decorate a portion of their front or back yard will see their railings and doors last decades rather than the years a wooden door or wooden railings would. While metal iron remains a bit more pricey than other decorative materials, ornamental iron offers homeowners a better investment choice than do any other materials.

Homeowners that juxtapose ornamental iron doors and railings alongside their wood counterparts will quickly realize that ornamental iron, especially iron treated with protective chemicals, will not rust, crack, splinter, crack or degrade noticeably over time. There is far less upkeep needed when dealing with ornamental iron as opposed to something like wood. Wood and cheap metal doors are also far less decorative than ornamental iron doors and aren't as warm or welcoming either. Moreover the majority of cheaper doors and railings aren't customizable and homeowners will be forced to buy something that rolled off a mass production assembly line when they select these other materials.

Wrought Iron French Doors

Have you ever considered using wrought iron when you install a French door? Wrought Iron is not only a distinguished product; it adds beauty and strength wherever it is used. Popular in and around many homes wrought iron is often used on gates, fences, and in gardens that show pride in home ownership.

French doors are normally used as entrance doors, but when wrought iron is added the doors could be used as dividers in the home or garden with the glass omit-ted. You can purchase the wrought iron door or you could have them custom made. The choice is yours to make. Another choice could be opaque glass that allows light to enter a room, but adds privacy and elegance from both sides.

The standard doors are made with high grade steel and have a bronze finish that is achieved from a black base with faux gold and copper that make your doors unique in their design and color.

It wouldn’t matter the style of architecture because wrought iron French doors blend in with any approach. The doors are pre-hung with the option of swinging outward or inward, and there are many designs to choose from whether simple or elegant.

The doors are popular in new construction and since they are pre-hung your con-tractor would need to know the exact size to adjust the dimensions.

When you are changing the color scheme in your existing homes consider installing the wrought iron French doors. That one feature will change the look of the entire area wherever they are installed.

In older homes as slider doors are no longer popular, French doors have re-placed them. Just imagine a unique wrought iron French door installed instead of a sim-ple French door and how that will help any room achieve the elegant beauty and quality you desire. Curtains or blinds will not be necessary because you would want the wrought iron to stand out.

The wrought iron French doors that are professionally made and installed in ar-eas that once were bleak and without style now make the statement of décor that is missing in many homes. With that one addition, your home will jump alive and be a pleasant place to stop and enjoy the peace of mind as you realize your home has gained in appeal with a quiet beauty. It may also be the one thing that will inspire you to complete the look throughout your home.

Ornamental Iron Garage Doors

In this, our third post about ornamental iron usage, we turn our attention towards the garage door. Garage doors which face the street are one of the first thing onlookers, guests, and family members see.

As most homeowners take a great deal of pride in the home they own they want to look its best for even those casual passerby's and sometims go to great lengths to ensure the first things people see on their homes really shine or stand out.

What many homeowners however aren't aware of is that garage doors can be made out of ornamental iron. While this may seem a bit odd at first thought, the truth is that there are many different types of designs a homeowner can select when they want an ornamental iron garage door. Generally speaking these designs vary from those found in the standard iron doors that are used at the front and backs of some homes and usually don't contain the mesh that those doors do. In contrast garage doors made of ornamental iron are solid, offer high-level security, and look fantastic while doing so.

Ornamental Iron Light Fixtures

In continuing with our discussion about ornamental iron we turn our attention towards not gates, windows, or other interior uses of the material but back to the exterior of homes. There are many areas in which ornamental iron can be utilized to atheistically enhance the exterior of a home.

A great example of this is outdoor lighting. Many times homeowners like to purchase or have custom-made ornamental iron light fixtures. Some look very modern while others are reflective of the late 19th and early 20th century. These exterior light fixtures may come in the form of on the wall lamps and sometimes a full size standalone lamps. Even the most inexpensive exterior lighting made from ornamental iron is extremely eye pleasing and can be used to set moods and atmospheres in a specific area outside of a home. In fact it's not uncommon to see such light fixtures near front walkways and around porches and decks in a backyard.

Should you have any questions about utilizing ornamental iron for exterior light fixtures please contact us and we'll be happy to provide you with the information you seek.

Ornamental Iron Gates

As we've mentioned many times before ornamental iron offers homeowners both beautiful designs and a high level of security. This is true of ornamental iron doors, window coverings, and even those used indoors on things like furniture and around fireplaces.

What we haven't talked a lot about however is the use of ornamental iron in driveway or front yard gates. Many homeowners, especially those looking for an added sense of security, elect to put up gates that prohibit entry onto both their property and their home. These gates are often motorized and can open and close from both inside the home and from within a vehicle.

More often than not ornamental iron is utilized in the construction of such gates so that these gates don't simply look like prison bars. There is some gates out there that boast beautiful and intricate designs. While many homeowners may believe these types of gates to be extremely expensive and out of reach as a result, the cost of even motorized ornamental iron gates has come way down as of late. Moreover any fees you pay to have them constructed and set up pays for itself immediately and will continue to do so for many years.

The Cost And Quality Of An Iron Door

A home's front door often tells you a great deal about not only the owner of the home but the home itself. More often than not luxury wrought iron doors on the home indicate that the homeowner not only cares for the home but has gone to great extents in making their home a virtual indoor paradise. In contrast standard wooden doors often indicate that a homeowner, while appreciating their home, may not take care about decor in the same matter or fashion that somebody with an iron door does.

Homeowners interested in upgrading their front door to one made of wrought iron should first consult with an individual who works within that industry. Reason being, wrought iron doors range greatly in price, longevity, durability, and of course decor. Which one is right for a homeowner will depend on the personal tastes of the consumer as well as the needs of their home and the restrictions of their budget. Homeowners on tight budgets and looking to upgrade to a wrought iron door needn't worry however as there are many fine iron doors available at low costs which will add something special to their home.

An Iron Door Makeover

Are you a homeowner who's looked at one of the doors on your home and thought "wow, this door really needs a makeover". The vast majority of homeowners will have this thought come to mind while viewing either their front door or a door that leads directly into their backyard. This is because both of these doors are used frequently by both a homeowner and his/her family and their guests.

As a result of frequent usage by a large number of people, homeowners want their doors to look their best. Doors made of wood and cheap metal tend to peel, crack, splinter, and warp rather easily. As such these types of doors can look much older than they really are and they tend to show wear and tear early in their lives.

If you're a homeowner who was recently looked at one of their doors and seen this then it's likely that you've begun to consider purchasing a new door. What you should do however is give pause and seriously consider purchasing not the same type of door again but an iron door and perhaps one of a decorative nature. Iron doors and ornamental iron doors offer a high level of durability as well as a plethora of eye-catching designs.

Should you have any questions regarding purchasing a new iron door for your home please be sure to contact us that we may be of assistance.

Of course the wrought iron door is the most commonly chosen metal door though some homeowners still choose steel and other types of metal for their doors. While all metal doors can be highly decorative and even customized to fit the specific door or atmosphere of a home, it is wrought iron doors that best withstand the elements and resist corrosion.

Exterior Doors: The Easy Way Out

Front exterior doors may be the most highly used door in your house, or if your house has a door into the garage, it may rarely be used. If that is the case you need to check it out more frequently to make sure it is free of dirt and grime, and is in good condition. You should keep the hinges oiled so the door doesn’t squeak and groan when it is opened. The door knobs should be wiped off occasionally, and check your door bell and light on your front porch.


The step outside your front door will be the welcome mat to your home. It is the first thing a visitor sees, and if the front door area is clean and well cared for, the rest of your home should be in the same condition.


Wood doors are the most popular, but wood changes with the weather. It will shrink, bow, swell, stick or allow drafts through it, so you need to protect it. A good spray wax and a clean rag may do the trick, or if it is badly worn you may need to refinish it. It the door sticks, you can shave and sand it, then reseal it. If it is not made of solid wood, you need to replace it for safety’s sake.


Fiberglass entry doors are popular, and provide many years of service without a lot of upkeep. Many of them look like wood, and only a contractor will be able to tell the difference. You can even paint fiberglass, and if there is glass involved be sure to tape it off before you paint. You can scrape paint off glass, but if the glass is plastic, the paint adheres to the plastic and is harder to remove. (I speak from experience here.)


Fiberglass doors are more expensive but are becoming more popular because of their easy care. Wood of course is traditional so will always be in style. You do have another option, steel doors. They are very cost effective, and will give you the best security, but their initial cost may be prohibitive


Besides color and type of finish, paint may be an option. Choose a color that either matches or contrasts with the rest of your house. Dark colors fade quicker especially if they are in the direct sunlight all day.

Many gardening enthusiasts who own a home will often utilize wrought iron or ornamental iron throughout their gardening area and sometimes their entire yard. Most commonly you'll see wrought iron used in decorative planters that house some exotic or very colorful plants. Equally as common is finding wrought iron planters that attach to the home. Buy a offering homeowners the option of home attachment, planters can be utilized not only for flowers but as a decorative piece around or near a window.

Iron Gazebos & Awnings

Of the many different uses around the home that wrought iron has, iron doors are the most frequent type you'll see. That doesn't mean however that ornamental iron isn't applied and applied often to other things around the home.

Iron Gates Can Provide A Majestic Touch To Your House

Whether you are building a new home or just upgrading, the gate you choose will speak volumes of you and your family. Iron means strength and iron gates whether stylish or simplistic mean that your home is protected. Some gates look like antiques, others more modern and regardless of the size and design you choose it will still be an iron gate.

When you place an iron gate at the entrance to your property you want it to do what it claims to do. The first thing anyone notices as they enter your property will be the gate. Do you want it to be secure or if you just want a gate you could use a picket wooden gate. But that won’t do what you want. That won’t keep anyone out or your dogs in.

A gate is an entrance, it must be opened to either enter or exit the property. Do you want curb appeal? Do you want a substantial piece of equipment that gives off the notice of power? The Iron Gate will fill that need. You could use wrought iron or iron mixed with wood, either one would serve your purpose.

How about design? A pretty ornate gate should be at the entrance of a home that is exquisite. People will see the gate and look to the house to see if the gate belongs there. Does it match the house or does the owner say something that doesn’t go with the house. It looks out of place. It doesn’t belong. If your house is run down, and you have no plans to fix it up are you saying to people passing by that you plan to fix your home, but haven’t got around to it? That gate will tell all.
If you plan to live on the property for years, the iron gate will outlast you. It will be there to stay, so buy the one you like and the one that fits the design of your home. They should go together.

Choose carefully as you look for someone to install your iron gate. Make sure they know what you want and how to install it. You want it hung properly so it will open or close easily. The person should be able to guarantee their work without doing dam-age to the surrounding area. Ask if they have done that type of work before. Ask if they have references, then follow up and check out their work.

You want to be sure when you buy something that will last as long as your iron gate.

Your Iron Door And Airflow

In the past we have talked about the security aspect that an iron door offers homeowners. Today we will go a little bit more in depth and talk about one particular aspect of security and iron doors that many homeowners cite as a reason for purchase.

The security offered by wrought iron doors is unmatched in every way by any other type of door. Additionally other types of doors are for the most part solid and don't allow any airflow through a home. Many wrought iron doors boast some type of iron screen or mesh in between their decorative iron pieces which allows homeowners to leave their front or back door open for airflow.

Having fresh air constantly blowing throughout a home is not only refreshing but has health benefits as well. Moreover homeowners who live in hot areas such as a desert can leave their doors open during the night to allow the cooler night air to filter out the heated air that had become trapped in the home during the day. A homeowner with an iron door can leave their door open with confidence and peace of mind knowing that their iron doors offer great protection from unwanted guests.

Should you have any questions about the security that iron doors offer please be sure to contact us so that we may be of assistance.
