Ursula is an eye catching single styled wrought iron gate. It is created with a deep bronze color which is intertwined with subtle black hues and a
touch of bright gold. Capturing the feel of the sea, Ursula charms with mirror imaged shell-like handles and small sea horses which nestle within the bottom panel.
Between the shell handles shows a dynamic cylindrical pole with an alternative pattern of beads and stars. This subtle pattern adds a touch of whimsy.
Despite all of these details what truly makes this gate design unique are the dual layered hearts centered boldly in the forefront. This thick and layered heart
shape then bursts with scalloped swirls. Ursula's texture is fantastic the hammered frame and pickets optimize the texture. Another feature to the pickets is the
alternating design of regular pickets vs. carved pickets with golden paint touches at eye level. Finally, sweeping wave-like swirls flow across to top of the gate for
a lovely finishing touch. Ursula will not disappoint as this entry gate is both unique and stunning.

Our gates are welded using traditional stick welding processes. Also known as shielded
metal arc welding, this process consists of using a consumable electrode coated
in flux (a chemical agent - zinc oxide - that removes oxidation from metals) to
create an electric arc for welding. The vapors from the flux create an inert gas,
known as shielding gas, which conducts heat and reduces the voltage required for
welding. This process also creates slag, or melted metal, that protects against
atmospheric contamination of the welded material. The slag must be chipped off,
and the overall process requires a skilled artisan for a properly finished piece.
Forging is the traditional means of working iron and other metals. Traditional tools
are the hammer and anvil, and one major benefit of forged metal is that it becomes
harder as it is worked. This is because the grains of the metal are deformed to
follow the new shape, not broken, as in other methods of metalworking. Our gates
are forged in order to provide the most durable final product possible.
Powder coating is the process by
which powdered pigment is applied to and cured on a surface. The process for powder
coating consists of a mechanical and/or chemical treatment of the surface to remove
impurities and contaminants followed by the application of the pigments. Then the
material is cured at high temperatures which makes the pigments flow together and
react chemically to form the coating. Powder coating is preferred for certain surfaces
because it creates or contains close to no volatile organic compounds and does not
sag or run with thicker coats. The overspray can also be recycled so there is little
waste, making it less expensive and creating less hazardous waste. It is also more
versatile than traditional liquid paints. Often, thinner coats of powder coating
will be used for a slightly orange peeled effect to prevent fingerprints, but thicker
coats may be used for a smoother finish. Our gates are powder coated to provide
the most uniform, precise painted effect possible.

Wrought iron is a reliable, attractive metal used for crafting gates. To begin with,
it is versatile, making it suitable for a number of gate applications. It also offers
a unique appearance in comparison to standard metal or wood gates, and can be customized
with a variety of accessories or welded with accents of other metals, such as brass.
It is so striking, that it has become a favored medium for metal sculptors for its
artistic value. Finally, it is durable, a must for security and extended life. As
such, we have chosen wrought iron for some of our finest and most distinctive gates.
