Pro and cons of iron automatic gates at your East Kilbride property

Automatic or electric gates are becoming increasingly popular at East Kilbride properties, for the convenience they offer, as well as the increase in security for property too. There are many materials form which your gates could be made but the use of iron can bring many pros...

Strength

There is no doubting that iron is incredibly strong and does not buckle easily under pressure or weight, perfect for automatic gates at your East Kilbride property. Used in many different applications, iron is a versatile metal that can be moulded and manipulated into many different shapes, twists and designs.

Security without blocking the view

The most obvious reason for wanting to invest in automatic gates at any East Kilbride property is to increase security, and a fence and gate is a perfect way of doing this physically and psychologically. However, you may find the thought of having a wooden gate too much, simply as you cannot see or have a view of the end of the drive, the road way, pavement or whatever runs past your property. Iron gates and railings offer this view and, if you want more privacy, trailing plants over railing are a great way of affording some more.

Durability

The strength and robustness of iron is second to none and, when you are investing in your own security and peace of mind, knowing that the material from which the automatic gates at your East Kilbride property are made from is one of the most durable known to man, you can rest easy. Iron, when treated and painted, does not rust easy; it will withstand the heaviest rain and wind, or any other climatic elements thrown at it, and will still be standing; in the case of automatic gates, it will be fully functional too!

But, there may be some cons but with the right professional gate company working with and installing your iron gate work, these perceived 'cons' soon melt away...

Weight

Iron can be a lot heavier than wood and many other materials, and so for some applications is avoided as it can sink in to the ground. However, with automatic gates, the mechanisms and arms are made to withstand and hold the weight, offering unrivalled functionality and reliability.

Cost

The cost of metals has increased in recent years and, when compared to some woods and plastics, for example, iron can be expensive however, there is another viewpoint - once installed, iron automatic gates at your East Kilbride property will outlast you! You will spend far less on maintaining or replacing them meaning that, over the longer term, they represent possibly the best investment of cash.
