Terrace Ironwork
Many of Sydney’s Victorian era buildings are adorned with beautiful cast iron
lacework and wrought iron palisade fences, with intricate patterns. Suburbs like
Paddington, Woollahra and Kirribilli have rows of terraces with beautiful examples
of this 19th century ironwork, that is so famous in London.
Victorian terraces often had lace balustrades, matching frieze work, columns and
other decorative elements made from cast iron. Over a century or two, these
castings can break or rust and require refurbishment or replacement.
JB Wrought Iron can refurbish original work or where replacement is the better
option, replace these castings with either genuine cast iron, or replica, sand cast
aluminium. We only use genuine sand cast lacework and never use imitation die
cast aluminium. We can restore the appearance to look just like the original cast
iron work. Many a terrace house has been architecturally vandalised by the use of
low quality, die cast aluminium replacements that not only look fake but have not
been installed in the traditional manner, which detracts enormously from the
building’s appearance.
Victorian terraces and other heritage buildings often have palisade fences with
decorative cast iron finials and matching gates. These genuine wrought iron fences
and gates often need refurbishment or replacement after over 100 years of service.
These classic forms of ironwork need to be restored or replaced by experts if the
building’s heritage significance is to be maintained. They are mostly made of
puddled wrought iron and need to be treated very differently from the modern day
metal, mild steel. Electric welding, galvanising and shot blasting should never be
used in their restoration. Often set into sandstone with leaded joints, these wrought
iron fences and gates need the expertise of an ornamental blacksmith and a
stonemason to be faithfully restored.
JB Wrought Iron always aim to add value to a property. While doing things the
right way may be initially more expensive, it is far less costly than devaluing a
valuable property by doing poor quality work.
