What gate material?

An electric gate does not just represent an object used to mark a boundary around your property or home, but should meet all the requirements to enhance a home and constitute a type of visiting card.

Your gate can be in wrought iron or wooden; the images alongside can give you some ideas and help you choose the ideal solution.

Iron is a material that can be cut, pressed, bent and engraved, and it is these very techniques that enable the creation of personalised products, making your gate an authentic and unique article.
Thanks to these iron working techniques, both classical and modern gate models can be produced.

When making an iron electric gate, it is important to bear in mind that for safety reasons, the structure design must aim both at a solid and resistant structure combined with quality aesthetics.
A wrought iron gate has the advantage of being easy to maintain over time, as it offers long-lasting resistance to atmospheric agents.

On the other hand, a wooden gate can be made of different types of wood; the choice depends on your preferences and budget available.

The beauty of wood makes it a good material for a gate.
You can decide whether to have a gate made up of adjacent wooden boards or separated panels with either a simple or complex arrangement as required.

One of the biggest drawbacks to using wood as the main material for your electric gate is its vulnerability to the elements. This constant exposure to the elements can wreak havoc on many types of wood.
Possibly the biggest threat to the integrity of your wood gate is moisture, which can come in the form of rain, snow, sleet, and even humidity in the air. This can cause your beloved wooden gate to warp and buckle and once it has done that, there usually is no way to reverse or correct the damage.

Take heart however: it's not all bad news. There are a number of wood treatment methods that have been developed over the years to help your wood gates withstand the forces of nature. These typically involve the application of chemicals in the factory prior to shipping them out to the construction suppliers. These protective chemicals help make your wood more resilient and durable in the face of rugged weather conditions, and greatly increase their serviceable life.
