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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
