Aren't you excited that Iron, Iron, Iron..... is everywhere?
Iron doors and details are the latest rage in New Construction!
We see ornate Iron Gates, Iron Doors, Iron Balconies, Iron Lighting Fixtures and Iron Railings inside and out. All the details can be a strong form of expression! Some even get brushed with gold details, for a unique look.
Iron is ideal for outdoor patio furniture and withstands the sun, rain and snow. With its heavy weight, you never have to worry about it blowing away in wind storms. Decorative cushions soften it for comfort.
Inside, Iron is being seen on tables and chairs, and other furniture.
Another great use for Iron, is in a wine cellar! A detailed door leads to the collective assortment of wines and spirits.
The benefit of Iron is its durability. Sun exposure on a wood door can cause damage, Its stretches and shrinks, sometimes making it difficult to open and close. With increased exposure to the elements the wood often fades and cracks. Finishing it, can be very expensive, since wood is like a piece of furniture.
Iron can be ordered finished, in that case it requires little maintenance. If it is not finished, it requires a primer and paint and can go for years with low maintenance and care.
So now, Iron you mad for Iron?
