The tradition of using wrought iron in decorative fencing dates back to the Roman Empire, where blacksmiths forged iron into both functional and ornamental pieces. By the Middle Ages, wrought iron became widely used in Europe for gates, railings, and fences, often adorned with intricate designs that showcased the skills of the blacksmith. Each piece was unique, reflecting the style of the period and the individuality of the homeowner. This practice has continued through to modern times, where wrought iron fence ornaments are still handcrafted, blending traditional techniques with contemporary designs.
Even little items like the screws and bolts used can be something that makes installation a pain or detracts from the look of the fence. Make sure the hardware is color matched to your pieces and uses a stronger hex-head on the bolts that allow use of a socket. Phillips head style screws can often strip easily and make installation a pain.


What factors contribute to the high cost of wrought iron?
Lubricate the window’s moving parts routinely: The hinges and locks of old windows might experience unnecessary wear and tear over time, making them difficult to use and stiffer. Apply a lubricant that contains silicone to the moving elements to avoid this from happening. Simply add a very tiny amount of lubricant to the hinges and locks, and then open and close the door a few times to work the oil into the hinges and locks.
