When it comes to enhancing the aesthetics and security of your property, custom timber gates mounted on custom steel frames are a perfect choice. This unique combination marries the timeless beauty of timber with the robustness of steel, resulting in a durable and visually appealing gate solution that stands the test of time. Here's why this choice is probably right for you:
1. Aesthetic Appeal: The rich textures and colors of wood create an inviting and rustic ambiance that can complement various architectural styles. With custom timber gates, you have the flexibility to choose the wood type, finish, and design that perfectly matches your property's character. Even when painted, eg Hamptons style, timber gates have a charm and natural warmth that few other materials can replicate.
2. Durability: Timber gates on steel frames offer the best of both worlds. The timber's elegance is preserved, while the steel frame provides unparalleled structural integrity and longevity. Steel is highly resistant to environmental factors such as moisture, pests, and corrosion, ensuring your gates can endure harsh conditions for years.
4. Customization: The strength and flexibility of steel allows for much greater freedom of design than timber alone, allowing you to focus on what you want rather than what can be done.
5. Low Maintenance: Despite their elegant appearance, custom timber gates on steel frames require minimal maintenance. The steel frame's are made from galvanized steel, the welds are treated for rust prevention and, I recommend, powder coating for aesthetics and added protection. For the timber gate, painting is the best and longest lasting protection. However if you are after a natural timber finish then routine sealing with a premium timber oil can keep them looking pristine for years.
6. Increase Property Value: A beautiful entrance that increases street appeal can add significant value to your property. Probably much more than the actual cost of the gates.
So, if you're looking to elevate your property's entrance with a unique gate, consider the beauty and strength of custom timber gates on custom steel frames—you won't be disappointed.
