Custom gates can be manufactured and installed in virtually any position to all types of domestic and commercial properties. They add a definitive barrier between the high road and your property, increasing the level of security of your property. Gates from Elex Gates can be made from a wide range of materials and in many different designs to fit your budget and the look of your property.
Custom Gates : Materials
The material of choice for your custom gates will depend on your budget, taste, and the intended use of your gates. Iron gates are a fantastic option for domestic premises, adding aesthetic appeal and value to your home. Wooden gates are traditional and can be in-keeping with traditional properties as well as farms and rural premises. For commercial premises, heavy duty steel gates are an option that is financially viable as well as strong and safe.
Design
The design of your gates will depend once again on the type of property in question. For commercial premises, security and safety will be higher on your list of priorities than the look of the finished build. For domestic properties, keeping your gates in synch with the style of your home is important. Modern properties will suit iron or steel gates, painted in a variety of colours and with or without intricate and decorative markings. Period homes look stunning with wrought iron gates, black being the traditional colour for such gates with dark green also being popular.
Automated V Manual
When introducing customised gates to a property, one important factor to consider is whether you require automatic or manual gates. Automatic gating systems are far less hassle, and they will also ensure your property is secure and safe. Wherever possible, and where your budget allows, gate automation should be your first choice. Automated gates can be made from any material of your choice including wood, and they do not just need to be limited to modern designs and properties.
Another option when considering customising gates is to add an automatic opening system to your existing gates. Automatic openers can be added to swing and sliding gates, your existing gates being fitted with opening devices that can be controlled from a remote control key fob.
Custom gates can be manufactured and installed to fit almost any situation, driveway gates, side gates, commercial gates, and kissing gates being just a few of the most common. Wherever you have an opening that you would like to close off, gates can be custom built to fit the gap.
When choosing the material and design for your gates, you should think about how much usage your gates will get and how much maintenance you are prepared to carry out. Opting for traditional wooden gates can seem like a good idea, but you must be prepared to maintain your gates regularly and paint or stain them periodically. For low maintenance gates that are affordable, steel is an excellent option that is sturdy, requires little maintenance, and that will serve you well for many years to come.
