The application of ornamental steel transcends architecture alone. In garden design, for instance, decorative trellises or arbors crafted from steel can serve both functional and decorative purposes, supporting climbing plants while enhancing the garden's visual allure. In urban environments, public art installations made from ornamental steel can engage communities, spark conversations, and enhance the urban landscape.

Our unique climate in Southern California can take a toll on our iron fences, as they are constantly exposed to humidity and moisture in the air, making iron victim to the process of oxidation. Over time, your iron fence will show the signs of oxidation with rust patches. Rust is the number one enemy of iron fences, and needs to be removed on the first signs of its appearance. This can be accomplished using a fine wire brush. Make sure to lay a tarp beneath the wrought iron fence to catch flakes, wear gloves, and carefully brush away all points of rust along the fence, paying special attention to the post and joints.

In addition to their practical and aesthetic qualities, wrought iron railing panels also contribute to the sustainability narrative. The material is recyclable, and well-maintained panels can last for generations, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing waste.
