Materials
Abbey Gates uses only the best materials and craftsmanship when making our wrought iron driveway gates to ensure they are durable, stylish and work for their best purpose, security.
Iron
We use ‘wrought iron‘, which is an iron alloy with very low carbon content. It is very strong, yet malleable, that is why it is used in some of the best structures in the world, including the Eiffel Tower.
Composite Wood
Composite gates have a modern look and make great residential gates. With high durability, composite gates can last for between 25 and 30 years. They are resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage.
Design
Groundwork
Our team will then install it after levelling the ground to allow the gate to swing freely, and then we dig the holes for the metal posts and insert them securely in the ground.
Sliding and swinging driveway gates
Sliding gates need a track and roller fitted, whereas a swinging gate uses hinges to operate.
A property that needs a sliding gate will be one that doesn’t have enough room for a gate to swing inwards to open, but a property with enough room can have a swinging driveway gate installed.
Our team can determine if your home needs an iron swinging or sliding driveway gate.
Styles
Wrought iron security gates come in all shapes, sizes and colours, and by just looking at your home’s specific style, you can determine what kind of gate will suit your driveway.
If you have a modern house, you may want a simplistic, sleek style that compliments your home’s state-of-the-art style by using straight lines and contemporary shapes. For a historic style house, we would recommend a grand, ornate look with spires, finials and swirls painted black with perhaps gold or silver décor attached. For more information on driveway gate styles.
Weather Protection
Your wrought iron driveway gate can be protected from weathering & accidental damage by powder coatings and galvanizing the metal surface.
Galvanizing is the process in which wrought iron or steel is placed in a thin layer of zinc at a temperature of 460°C.
Wrought iron driveway gates can be completely protected from the elements with the use of galvanizing. Corrosion can occur from harsh weather, freezing and thawing throughout the winter months and acidic rain.
