Choosing Characteristics of Ornamental Iron Gates

In choosing the right gates and doors, first determine the objectives: as a security barrier, to keep intruders out and its tenants safely in (or pets), to improve airflow/visibility/light, as decorative elements, which enhance the appeal of our home and increase its real estate value, for the convenience of gate automation, and as a first impression to those visiting you.  Even a simple home with no distinguishing architectural features would benefit from an ornate wrought iron gates, or a combination of Wood and Iron Gateswood and iron. Real estate agents cannot emphasize enough the importance of a curb appeal and, with a beautiful ornamental iron gate, it is easy to achieve the appeal with a relatively small cost.  First Impression is currently offering "End of Summer" Specials on Gates and Fencing for a limited time.

Interior Design
Interior Gates and PanelsWrought iron is utilized not just for the exterior of homes, but for the interior as well. Interior gates create safer stairs for children, separations for living rooms, and dramatic entrances to dining rooms and family rooms.  Wrought Iron also creates beautiful accents with various staircase and banister designs. 
 
Construction
Sonoran GateWhile choosing an ornamental iron gate, consider its weight. Also check the hinges to which it will rotate and the post on which it will be placed. They should be strong enough to support to bear the weight of the gate all the time.  You can opt for lighter weight gates in hand forged scrolls and custom laser cut artwork, or heavy weight plasma cut designs.  
 
Privacy
Californian Gate with Glass InlayThe intricate design on the wrought iron is what makes the ornamental iron gates so special and popular.  However, if your priority is privacy, opt for wooden gates or gates with a heavily textured glass.  You can put perforated metal in your gate but it will not block visibility completely.
 
Patio FurnitureIron gates are not only steady and strong, but they are elegant and durable also. Due to its elegance and intricate design, wrought iron gates give a great reflection of your good choice and taste. Wrought iron furniture and doors can complement any room décor.  It can prove to be a great investment, and is resilient and durable. 
 
Strength
Custom Gate with Glass InlayAs iron has malleability and tensile strength, it can be given and hold any shape.  Homeowners find that using ornamental iron gates for the entrances to their homes is not only attractive, but also a deterrent to would-be intruders.  Robberies and vandalism are becoming common in most communities and we need to take measures to protect our families and our property. Solid fences and gates are the first barrier to anyone coming in.

Unique Pool Fencing for Safety and Design

After adding a pool to your home, a pool fence is the next best addition that will not only add the value to the property, but will give you peace of mind.
Pool FencingEveryone loves pools, you will have more weekend guests than you bargained for and kids will love you for it. You will have great place to unwind after work, even if you do not swim at all. Family parties will be a huge hit with everyone hanging out by the pool, sunbathing, and barbequing. 
However, great caution should be heeded around open bodies of water.  The Drowning Prevention Coalition states that drowning is the leading cause of death among children 1 - 4 years of age.  Many countries and many US states now make pool fencing mandatory, even if you do not have kids. Having a fence around your pool can be a blemish to the asthetics of having a pool, but the fence does not have to be ugly.
Calfiornian Gate and Pool Fencing There are spectacular options to creating a beautiful fence that creates an ambiance around the pool.  If you think of a pool fence as something that should add value to your home, it has to be not only safe, but beautiful as well.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Hello everyone!!

I couldn't wait to write this email . . . my door is absolutely FanTasTic!!  Your employees are outstanding . . . from Ray French, the salesman, to the phone gal through Jonathan Martinez, the installer!!  I am an ESM member and plan to tout your door, your employees and your service in person at one of our meetings!!  The ESM discount was superb and sealed the sale!!

Ray French was very knowledgable and presented your doors in a professional yet very friendly manner.  He took the time to meet us at your facility and not only explained your doors in depth, but understood our needs and met them completely.  My First Impression sold me on your company and your product!!

When I phoned to confirm our installation, the young lady I spoke with was very pleasant, professional and excited to know that I planned to express my pleasure with your entire process in an email.  Jonathan Martinez called ahead to confirm his arrival time and worked diligently to install the door, clean up, ensure my dogs didn't escape and that I was happy with both the door and the installation.  Each and every person I came into contact with  was proud to be a part of First Impressions and their doors!
 
I LOVE MY NEW DOOR!!
