What is the difference between wrought iron & steel?
The term iron and steel are used interchangeably.
Wrought iron is a iron alloy with a very low carbon
content compared to steel used predominantly
prior to 1920. Wrought iron is no longer
commercially produced due to the effective
methods of producing steel today.
Wrought, is to work. That is why steel products
worked by hand are called so today. Wrought iron
today is really more of a style than a product.
What finishes does HMW offer?
Our products are typically primed and painted.
For basic colors we utilize quality Rustoleum
brand paints which have a rust inhibitor
to prevent rusting. Custom colors are available
through Sherwin Williams paint. Powder coating is
available but any specialty finishes are typically
as costly or more than the fabrication itself.
