Ornamental Iron Gates in Sandy, Utah
|
Ornamental design and fabrication bring wide-open possibilities and varieties to design the iron gates that would fit the architectural atmosphere of the property. In this picture, you can see the main entrance to the residence. As metal contractors, to design these iron gates, we were given already build columns and accentuating architectural details to incorporate in the gate design. We came up with multiple design options that later were reviewed by the designer and owner. The custom steel gates on the picture are the final decision. Later on, gate operators were installed, so now this entrance meets and welcomes guests, adding a final touch to the residence.

Arched Iron Gates are popular for their unique curved shape. The arch as an architectural feature is an additional accent to the gate, but moreover, it adds significance through its labor-intensive appearance. Curved forms are well known for the labor intensity, but aren't they worth it. To our mind, these iron gates are proof that they do. We can't say enough how brilliant and highly-imaginative the architect who designed these metal gates is. We are blessed to work with such talented people. We believe that by beatifying what surrounds us, we improve our mood and overall well-being. Let's bring more beauty to the world using craftsmanship and talents.

It was a pleasure to be apart of this terrific custom fireplace screen project, which became an essential addition to the overall interior style. The existing fireplace was built back in the 1920th. The client wanted us to fabricate the wrought iron fireplace screen that would look antique, and as it was fabricated in the same period. So the request was to avoid welding joints and keep all the parts together using rivets.
The ocean theme of the existing fireplace has inspired our blacksmith to incorporate water plant elements into the design; he believed it would add more authenticity, making the fireplace screen appear lightweight and delicate. The client was delighted with the results. She decided to build one more fireplace screen for her living room; we kept the ocean theme, however, we had to scale it up; the living room fireplace was a bit wider and taller. No doubt that our decorative fireplace screens have become terrific accent points of the interior. |

Wrought Iron Gates,
|
Wrought iron gates forging is always an entertaining process. One of the main reasons is the elegance of lines, forms, and shapes incorporated in the design. Whether we are forging large iron driveway gates, wrought iron fences, or tiny wrought iron garden gates, we pay careful attention to its functionality, appearance, and durability. Why is that so important? In terms of appearance, the materials used while blacksmithing have to be solid. Hollow tubes do not have the necessary mass that can hit up to certain temperatures required to soften the iron. This positive advantage is opposite to qualities of hollow material, which instead would overburn fast and would lack the necessary mass to shape the desired form. There are certain techniques and methods where using tube material is more advantageous, we will cover this topic when describing the relative products we built. Blacksmithing is a craftsmanship that requires special blacksmithing tools. Very often the craftsman forges his set of tools, which can deliver the trademark effect and artistic authenticity to the forged object. Speaking of functionality, there are two opposite sides to the material qualities as well. The advantage of solid material is its longevity, water can't get in the side of it, so even though it is constantly exposed to the weather, because of its solidness and mass, the rust that builds up through time becomes a security layer, protecting the material form exposed climate conditions. It is recommended to coat the metal, however very often we meet clients who would like to keep the fabricated product rust. For example, there was a project, a contemporary rust fence that had to be made out of hollow tubes and left to rust on its own. The thing we have implemented was sealing up the exposed ends by welding the iron caps on each side, besides, we used thicker material that would allow the tubes to create the rustic protective layer over time. The further trick we have offered to our clients, who were exceptionally loyal and open-minded people, was coating protection using beeswax or covering it with the lacquer spray, nonetheless, they decide to keep the contemporary fence open to the weather, so it could reach more contrast rustic hues.

Rectangular Gates With Cast Elements, Holladay, Utah
We feel obligated to share with you these authentically designed gates located in Holladay, UT. The client had an idea to design rectangular shape iron gates.

Our designer came up with multiple wrought iron gate options - most of them were highly decorated and ornamental. The client asked to simplify them, keeping the ornamental and luxurious one for the main entrance.

The big distance between the ground and bottom of the gates is to assure that snowy day would not block the excess. We were happy to be in service to such bright and exceptionally loyal people. We will be delighted to provide more metal fabrication services to these wonderful clients.

Wrought Iron Texturized Interior Railing Park City, UT
|
|
Elegant lines and unique forms of this wrought iron railing, built for a custom home in park city, became an exclusive decoration for the delicately shaped stairwell. The main idea was to attach the railings avoiding any connection screws being visible. The custom convex covers with square openings cover the bottom connection plate of the textural bar. In this way, baluster attachment detail appeared clear of any fasteners. The bent bottom shape of the picket was an architect's idea. Such design unifies steps and railing that elegantly wraps the treads of the stairwell. By implementing this visual touch the staircase appears as a more pleasing and orderly harmonized unit.
The complexity of this project was to avoid any inside welding. By the time, we as metal fabricators, were able to start our installation part, all the interior was on its last stage of completion. As a result, we had to make pins that would support the straight balusters and go directly into the thread. We fabricated the iron pins where half of each had a screw thread; the other half was sticking out three inches above the step. Later on, a baluster has been placed on top of it using a metal adhesive, and in addition, a small hidden screw was attached from the side to keep it more sturdy.
It was a three-story house, therefore the stairwell was terrifically large. It certainly has taken a tremendous scope of persistence and effort, however, we are exclusively happy that the contractor believed in our abilities, as a metal fabrication and blacksmithing company, to deliver the desired outcome.

Garden Metal Gates, Salt Lake City, UT
These modern iron gates, you can see in the picture, were built for the landscape architect. It is always a joy to work alongside such exceptionally talented and highly imaginative people. We are always happy to gain more knowledge and exchange ideas.
This overall part is a backyard entrance for the architect's residence. The idea was to aesthetically finish the backyard with a gate that would have a nature theme. The beautiful flower drawing was digitalized and provided to us by the architect. Very often, we have clients with amazing pictures they would like to incorporate in the design. And, yes, a simple drawing might have a crucial effect on the final design appearance. This gate is a confident prove of aesthetical enhancement using the impressive art and simple laser-cut process.
We like to mention the pin hinge method we prefer to use for all our gates. There are many benefits this technique carries. The idea is to keep the gate weight directed on the ground instead of the supporting post. This way post does not hold the entire weight but only prevents the gate from leaning. Such distribution of force extends hinges longevity and requires less frequent maintenance.
This modern iron gate was a joyful project where we were lucky to consolidate our metal fabrication skills with the architect's imagination.

Custom Exterior Iron Railing, Salt Lake City, UT

The lady we built these custom exterior iron railing has a profound taste in aesthetics. Since we have designed and built the wrought iron fireplace screens for her, she had become our regular client. She is always happy to give us more projects to beautify her already exceptional home located in a pretty area - avenues, Salt Lake City. And on our part, it is a delight to do the work for such a remarkable woman.
These iron railings are a replacement for the old ones that have been destroyed by the fallen tree. In terms of composition, while the design phase, we decide to solidify and, in some way, visually ground it with the four-inch plate underneath the grabrail. This design method makes the top heavier, which, as a result, similar to the crown, enriches the overall appearance. The c-channel was placed under the bar and repetitively riveted in line with decorative flowers. The idea was to create a monotonous baluster pattern that won't appear overloaded and busy. We wanted to accentuate the lightness and see-through ability to unify the surroundings and not overaccentuate the new iron railings. Moreover, as you can see in the picture, the brown-bronze color was highlighted using golden patina. It is a simple but highly effective visual effect that allowed all the convex forms to appear closer, and all the deepnesses optically fade into the background.
We are blessed to have such a highly open-minded and original customer. It is indescribably meaningful for us, how by being our regular client, she expresses her appreciation for our work.

Custom Wrought Iron Gates, Holladay, UT
Entry gates are the visual portfolio for any house. The entrance always says a lot about the owner's aesthetics and often defines the viewer's impression. These ornamental custom wrought iron gates look invitational and have become a reason we, as a metal company, have been positively referred and given more business.
The iron grid arch above the gate has a tunnel-like form. In this way, the architect wanted the entrance to appear encouraging and welcoming. Instead of just dividing the property line with a singular gate, a beautiful green arch was extended above. While designing this wrought iron gate, it was important not to break it into many elements and not over-solidify it with dense metal sheets. To our mind, the architect has done excellent work. The clients did not want the gate to appear defensive, but opposite, transparent and greeting. Another visual enhancement to notice is the center of the iron gates. It repeats the overall shape outlined by columns and an arched top. Perspective-alike lines optically take us into the garden. In addition, the grid patterns remind us about the main purpose of the iron gates which is to guard the property.
The metal decorative plates installed on the columns and the custom iron lights above are a part of our metalwork as well. These small details harmonize all components in one architectural unit.
Fabricating and forging iron gates is always a fascinating experience for us, for the reason of knowing that we take an influential part in decorating the fundamental piece of the property.
