Choose the Right Style of Ornamental Iron for Your Home.
|
Selecting the right style and design of ornamental iron work for your home is the key to creating the desired aesthetic. Consider the existing style, aiming for something complementary. Think about how you would accentuate the character of your property, and look for a product that best fits your or your designer's vision. Consult with an expert about how to pick the right kind to suit the architectural requirements of your place.
There are many types of ornamental iron works available, from modern to vintage, and numerous more in between the spectrum. Combining different styles will provide a tasteful touch to your property, but make sure it still looks cohesive. Additionally, there are other considerations like materials and finishes. Quality materials such as wrought iron or aluminum will ensure your product will stand the test of time and need minimum maintenance. Finishes such as powder coating or paint can add an eye-catching look. Often we recommend our clients determine three design elements that speak out in the façade or interior space. Incorporating home-character details, will counteract the new iron work product with existing surroundings. Working with clients, Alexander Clark Enterprises offers drafting assistance for metal fabrication services. If there is any hesitation about the final look of future ironwork, we will create drawings with multiple design options for your consideration. Sketches and configuration drawings are helpful tools that are a part of our metal fabrication services in Utah. We are here to make sure that you get what you wish. |
Know Local Ordinances When Installing Ornamental Iron in Utah. It’s essential to be aware of your local ordinances before installing any outdoor ornamental iron work products. Make sure to follow the regulations, as some cities are very strict about some types of metal fabrication work installations.
Usually, these ordinances contain size limits, pre-approved design guidelines, and building codes. Doing the research ahead of time will prevent potential problems and ensure that your ornamental iron work is compliant. Depending on your city or county’s requirements, it may be necessary to acquire a permit before installing any decorative ornamental iron works. It could include anything from personalized metal mailbox stands to a sturdy iron fence or custom metal gate. Make sure to check with your local building department for more specific information regarding the permits required in your area, so you can have peace of mind before purchasing and installing any metal fabrication products. In addition to legal codes, many cities also have aesthetic guidelines for metal work installations, such as limits on height and particular design features. Understanding all these regulations ahead of time will ensure that your project runs smoothly and is compliant with your city’s laws. Alexander Clark Enterprises have been in the metal fabrication business for more than 20 years, serving areas such as Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Lindon, Sandy, Provo and beyond. Sometimes we even headed out of Utah to states like Nevada, Arizona, and California. Metal fabrication services for us are more than just business. It is an opportunity to leave an artistic print in a form of exquisite ornamental ironwork. |

Contract Professional Metal Fabrication Services in Utah. Preferably hire a metal fabrication professional to assist with your ornamental iron works in Utah. Experts can help ensure that all parts are connected and welded according to metal fabrication safety and quality standards. They can also provide specialized equipment, such as gas welding and plasma cutting torches, which allow them to create complex shapes and designs that would not be possible with standard hand tools.
Working with iron can be dangerous, especially making complex designs and shapes. There is also the risk of damaging the decorative pieces. Hiring a metal work professional to construct your ornamental iron product will guarantee correct and safe fabrication and add special touches to enhance the appearance of your finished metal fabrication creation. They can even recommend additional pieces or suggest alternate assembly techniques if necessary. Additionally, experienced metal work professionals can likely provide you with pricing options that could be more cost-effective than purchasing the tools and materials needed for the iron work project. When getting an estimate, there are many minor things to consider - so they do not end up being costly. Here at Alexander Clark Enterprises, we discuss with our clients all the available pricing options to suit their budgets. Get in touch with us for your metal work estimates today! Professional ironworkers have the knowledge and experience to provide a quality product. Their ability to interpret design sketches and create detailed products from scratch makes them invaluable for any difficulty and size task. Working with a professional metal fabricator is reassuring that your metal fabrication project will meet your expectation, making it easier to make changes or repairs as necessary without compromising or risking the quality of your ornamental iron work. And finally, in most cases, a professional can provide faster results than an amateur DIYer since they have more practice and knowledge performing metal work services. |
Coating Options for Ornamental Iron.
Metal fabrication services are not simply building the product made of steel, a proper coating to resist weather conditions and environmental elements is an essential part of the process.
Powder-Coating. For components exposed to the weather, consider a powder-coat finish. It ensures that your ornamental ironworks remain rust- and corrosion-resistant. Additionally, this finish protects the material against moisture and UV rays. It has a variety of colors and textures, allowing you to customize the look of your ornamental ironwork. Another benefit - they don’t compromise strength or quality, and your metal items will stay strong through prolonged exposure to the surroundings, even if their color fades over time. Before choosing a power-coated finish for your ornamental iron product, consider weather exposure and location. If you plan to keep the items in an area with consistently high temperatures – then look for finishes that withstand heat. Simple steps like these can help ensure that your metalwork remains beautiful year after year.
Galvanizing in metal fabrication protects surfaces from wear. The process involves coating the metal surface with a layer of zinc - a barrier to prevent rust and corrosion.
The galvanizing process starts with cleaning the metal surface to remove any contaminants. Then, metal gets sunk into a bath of molten zinc, which adheres to the surface, leaving behind a smooth, even layer of zinc that provides long-lasting protection.
Painting is another process in metal fabrication for surface protection and can provide a decorative look. The process involves applying paint to the exterior of the metal. The painting process typically begins with cleaning and preparing the surface from contaminants. The second step is a primer application for better adherence. The number of layers will depend on the paint specifications. In some cases, a single coat may be satisfactory - in others, multiple layers might be necessary. Painting is a more artistic endeavor, offering freedom for creativity.
Gun bluing in metal fabrication is mainly a decorative finish, and it does not protect the metal if additional coatings like lacquer or beeswax are missing. It involves treating the metal surface with chemicals, typically ferric nitrate or potassium nitrate, which react with the iron producing a blue-black finish. The gun bluing process has several steps, including cleaning the surface, rinsing, and polishing it. The last step is the chemical application. Depending on the aimed aesthetical looks, you can use either brush, sponges, or rugs. If desired spray lacquer or use beeswax for durability after.
Gun-bluing is considered a traditional and time-tested method. For its decorative qualities, it is still a popular choice for metal fabricators, designers, and architects.
Alexander Clark Enterprises has experience in all described alternatives. Whether you are interested in traditional ornamental ironwork or modern, contemporary metal fabrication, a surface coating is essential for long-lasting and elaborate iron products.

The combination of materials in custom iron work Adding multiple metals to your ornamental ironworks can create a unique and beautiful appearance. Combining mild steel, cast iron, stainless steel, brass, copper, and aluminum gives a design more dimension and visual appeal. Varying colors of metals break up the monotony, reaching the balance.
Mild steel is the most common type used in ornamental iron works, but mixing and matching other metals are encouraged. Cast iron has a deep, matte black finish and is an excellent choice to create contrast with steel. Brass also offers a beautiful golden hue that adds warmth and elegance to any décor. Consult the designer or let us show you examples. No matter what combination of metals you choose, select items with a finish and style that will complement each other and, of course, the character of the place. Seamless transition of design pieces will appear cohesive and professional. The downside is that if exposed to humidity, the materials might react with one another, creating various hue spots. So make sure when layered, the materials are isolated with primer. If used artistically - a combination of metals can create a unique and enchanting look. Ornamental ironwork and metal fabrication are an ocean for creativity and experiments. Let us take care of the project you need to get done professionally and artistically! |
