Vertical members, also known as spires, are the vertical pieces of wrought iron that serve as the fence ‘posts’, and in terms of fence construction, pickets are the vertical pieces that make up the centre of a fence panel. These are welded to the rails on a wrought iron fence. Pickets can also be known as balusters, and picket castings are ornamentation attached to a picket for decoration.


Wrought iron fences offer great style varieties and are especially durable. But the particularly high costs of installation mean they require a significant investment. On top of that, this metal fence type requires a lot of maintenance to reduce rusting and chipping.

However, it is vital to understand only a few grades can provide high quality components.
Moreover, aluminium profiles can be customized to incorporate thermal breaks, which enhance energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior of a building. This feature helps in maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures and reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling.
