How Handcrafted Custom Ironwork Enhances Your Home

When you invest in an Allied Iron handcrafted custom ironwork, you’re not just buying metal pieces. You’re adding character and charm that lasts for decades. Here’s how it enhances your home:


Adds Unique Style

Ironwork can be designed to match most any style - from classic to modern. You can choose intricate scrolls, geometric patterns, or minimalist lines. This flexibility means your ironwork will complement your home’s design perfectly.


Improves Security

Iron enclosures, security doors and privacy gates provide a strong barrier that keeps your property safe. Unlike wood or vinyl, iron is difficult to break or damage. Plus, custom designs can include secure locks and features that fit your security needs.


Increases Property Value

A well-crafted iron feature can boost your home’s resale value. Buyers appreciate the quality and beauty of custom ironwork. It shows that you’ve invested in your home’s appearance and security.


Low Maintenance

Ironwork requires minimal upkeep. A simple cleaning will help in keeping it looking like new. This is especially important in Phoenix, where weather can be harsh on outdoor materials.

The Process of Creating Handcrafted Custom Ironwork

Understanding how an Allied Iron handcrafted ironwork is made helps you appreciate the skill involved. Here’s a step-by-step look at the process:


  1. Consultation and Design

    You start by discussing your ideas with a qualified sales representative. They’ll help you choose styles, patterns, and finishes that suit your home and preferences.


  2. Sketching and Approval

    Where applicable, our artisan creates a digital design. You review and approve the design before work begins.


  3. Materials Selection

    High-quality dual pane glass is chosen for strength and durability, as well as additional design aesthetic. Sometimes other upgrades, such as custom pulls, are added for special effects.


  4. Bending and Shaping

    The iron is hand bent into shape by an expert fabricator. This is where the artisan’s skill shines, creating curves, twists, and details by hand.


  5. Assembly and Welding

    Pieces are joined together carefully to ensure strength and stability.


  6. Finishing Touches

    The ironwork is cleaned and powder coated to protect it from rust and weather.


  7. Installation

    Finally, the piece is expertly installed at your home, ready to impress.


This hands-on process guarantees that every piece is unique and built to last.


Choosing the Right Handcrafted Custom Ironwork for Your Home

Selecting the perfect ironwork can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some tips to guide you:


  • Consider Your Home’s Style

Match the ironwork design to your home’s architecture. For example, ornate scrolls suit traditional homes, while clean lines fit modern designs.


  • Think About Function

Decide if you want ironwork for decoration, security, or both. Enclosures and doors provide security, while courtyard gates can add style.


  • Choose the Finish

Powder coating offers a durable, colorful finish. A natural black or oil rubbed bronze gives a classic look.


  • Set a Budget

Custom ironwork varies in price depending on complexity and size. Discuss your budget upfront to find the best options.


By following these steps, you’ll find ironwork that enhances your home’s beauty and function.
