What is Cast Iron Door

 

While wooden doors are made from wood, iron doors use iron as the primary material. Wrought iron is incredibly durable and long-lasting. Prefabricated iron doors come in many different styles, from a single door with a transom to double iron doors. Iron doors come in a variety of styles to fit your home's architectural style. Most of the time, iron doors will be hollow and filled with insulating foam. However, you can also get a custom iron door made from solid iron panels if you're looking for added security.

Beauty
Wrought iron entry doors are handcrafted, so the design possibilities are endless. Curves, angles, and abstract and geometric shapes can be reflected on the door' s surface to complement the style or time period of your home.

Wrought Iron Door Design

Wrought iron doors are both durable and elegant. This is because of the material they' re made of. Wrought iron, meaning worked iron, is actually a mild steel. It' s an alloy of iron and carbon but has less carbon in it than most steel. This small difference in the metal' s makeup means it' s more malleable than steel, allowing it to be worked into different designs more easily than most steel.

 

When it comes to steel and wrought iron doors, they' re practically the same in that they provide the same benefits. The two metals are close enough together that there isn' t a noticeable difference in durability, maintenance, and other similar aspects. The biggest difference between the two is the way they look in the end.

 

Will Wrought Iron Doors Rust
 

 

There is a worry anytime you choose something metal to go outside of your home that it will rust. Cast and wrought iron can be particularly susceptible to moisture and humidity, something that the exterior of your front door is exposed to a lot of. However, very much like a car, your wrought iron front door is largely protected from rust, but it can happen with age if proper care isn' t given.

 

What protects crafted wrought iron doors from rust is primarily a hot zinc galvanization process that gives a nice protective layer from the oxygen and moisture that causes iron to corrode away with rust. Furthermore, as many wrought iron doors are later painted to fit the unique style of your home, you also get that extra protective layer of paint.

 

However, while the above gives your doors a long life, similar to the protective paint on a car, it doesn' t last forever. However, wrought iron doors require restively little maintenance, but a little goes a long way towards keeping an iron door looking nice for a lifetime.

 

The best thing you can do for your door is to regularly (even if it is just annually) clean it with castile soap. Furthermore, it is important to dry the surface after cleaning and rinsing it off to limit moisture. If rust is appearing on your wrought iron door a couple decades after installation, it can be scrubbed off with a wire brush. At this point, you should highly consider getting the wrought iron repainted with a protective paint.

 

If you are considering the beauty and security of having a wrought iron door installed, but are concerned about rust, contact us today. We can talk you through every process and step we take to make sure that rust stays away during a wrought iron door' s long life.

The Intimidation and Security Factor
Wrought iron doors are intimidating to say the least. The sight of a huge, imposing iron door should be enough to turn away even the hardiest of burglars. An iron door gives you exceptional security even when coupled with glass (which iron can safely support): using frosted glass will give you adequate privacy to keep peering eyes from looking in, while using transparent glass allows you to see exactly who is in front of your door. The door' s appearance can be tailored to allow for small slits or grills of simple or elaborate design.

The Durability Factor
Iron doors have the obvious advantage of strength. Wrought iron doors are extremely durable, and with the proper care and maintenance can last a lifetime. Wood can rot, Steel may separate, fiberglass can crack, but iron can stand extreme weathering with very little upkeep.
