Wrought Iron Spiral Stair Case in Charleston SC

Hi!

We just completed this project. We are still doing some punch out work, but for the most part it's finished. We have to get a professional photographer to document our work, but since were soooo exited about how awesome this room looks, here are some iPhone pics ^_^

Iron Cable Railings
 
Cable Railings

This project was lead by CW Construction, and I must say it's a college student's DREAM place to live. So many things to do, great views and cool iron railings to admire (that's important, right?). This wrought iron stair was fabricated, shiped and installed by us, the Decorative Iron team. It was not an easy task, but great results. The iron railings really help with the modern feel to this hip atmosphere CW and it's wonderful designers created. We are very happy to be included in this project. 

Although we don't have these specific cable rails on our website, our future customers can definitely ask about it and we can fabricate for them. As far as the cable rails, we would manufacture the frame to it, and send the package with the cables and hardware. It's really easy to install, believe it or not. 

Let us know what you think! we appreciate any feedback. Soon we will have better professional looking pictures for your enjoyment. We also fabricated and installed all the balconies, railings, canopies and garage screens for this project. Stay tuned!

How to touch up your Wrought Iron Railing (stop rust before it takes over!)

The elements such as rain, wind, and snow can be rough to wrought iron products. Even if we powder coat the items, they are not 100% safe, specifically near a coast where salt water is the biggest killer. If you are like most, Galvanizing sounds nice but way too expensive! Below is the process that we use when we punch out units, turn them over, or go back to retouch when it's in warranty.

Small/Medium Rusts Spots
When this happens, we have to attach the problem ASAP. Rust spreads and doesn't stop. 
First: Clean the railing thoroughly. 
Dust buildups in the crevices of the balcony practically invite rust, as water settles in the crevices as well, they both act as a rust heaven. I would use soap and water, if you feel the need you can put a de-greaser as well. 


Second: sand the rust lightly. This step depends on the gravity of the rust. If there is significant damage, this step should not be left out. If the spots are really deep and hard to get, you might want to invest in a wire brush such as this: 
Hyde 8-3/4 in. Maxxgrip Pro High-Carbon Steel Wire Brush
available at www.homedepot.com
Third: Prime the spots with a Rustoleum primer. Try to get a prime that resembles the balconies color, it just makes it easier when actually painting. 
Rust-Oleum Stops Rust 12 oz. Clean Metal Primer Spray (6-Pack)-DISCONTINUED
Found at www.homedepot.com

Fourth: Wait until the primer dries and apply the final paint.
Hopefully you are able to find a matching spray can to paint over. We love Rustoleum products, they are specifically for rust and touch ups. If the color just doesn't work, the next step is to get it matched at your local paint shop. 
Rust-Oleum 12 oz. Stops Rust Flat Black Spray (6-Pack)-DISCONTINUED
found at www.homedepot.com

Side Note: Ordering the paint can be daunting. Bring a little sample of the paint, maybe scrape off a bit of paint from the rail. Make sure you explain that it is for metal, and if you know that the railing was powder coated, make sure to include that.
Painting a rail with paint that is close but not 100% there is a bit difficult. I've learned to thin the paint with a little bit of water and use a paint brush. Apply to the area, make sure its covered. After diffuse the paint with the brush so it slowly blends in. 

You should have now a new and improved iron product. Please don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions about the processes and if you need some product info. 

Lastly, if the railing has significant rust all over, that's another process, we recommend sand blasting and completely re-powder coating. That info will be in another post.

Good Luck!

Fort Adams



Fort Adams Newport

Decorative Iron of NC, Inc. has recently had the privilege to work, in a special project that has been part of the American History, The Fort Adams, in Newport, Rhode Island.


We worked several months, to get this project rolling. Mr. Shaun from Gibson Technologies  ,was our contact person for this project, which by the way was a pleasure to work with. He presented a sketch with an original design and for a couple of reason it wasn’t able to work out. The design began as a mix of our ring band and Fleur de leis at the end of each baluster. With the course of months, we made several changes including material and finish. Mr. Shaun and Decorative Iron of NC Inc. , did not stop working until everything was worked out to provide the best railings possible. For several months we worked with our engineer and drafting department until he got a design approved and we got the go ahead to start on fabrication.


Our final design was an incorporation of our Standard Railing and Mr. Shaun specifications. Indeed we are a custom company, and we enjoyed every step of the way to conclude the project, from drafting to fabrication.


Every project is very important; we strive to make everything work efficiently, as we know most construction trades relay on a time frames. It wasn’t any different for this project. It was very important that the railing be there on a specific Monday, and it was a Friday, we were aware that our carrier had several stops before our delivery was made and that there was a possibility it that it could be deliver until Tuesday morning. We didn’t want to run any chances on the shipment being late, it was late Friday and we had to do something quick. Knowing we didn’t have another scheduled carrier our decision was crucial, let our original carrier take it and run the change of being late a day? or think quick and fix it asap. Our CEO took matter into his own hands and we made several calls found a small truck for rent, about an hour away, half of our team was gone for the day and no one else available to take the shipping directly, the CEO and his wife drove for two days straight and delivered Monday morning. Mistakes and delays happen but rest assure that if there is a way of efficiently correcting or working through it Decorative Iron will show our costumers its made out steel.

Fun Facts
 Fort Adams was established on July 4, 1799 as a First System coastal fortification. Its first commander was Captain John Henry who was later instrumental in starting the War of 1812.Fort Adams was designed by Major Louis de Tousard of the Army Corps of Engineers.

Before being deeded to the State of Rhode Island in 1965, Fort Adams had served the U.S. Navy for ten years and the U.S. Army for more than a century. Since its acquisition by the state it has made national history in the entertainment field of Jazz and Folk festivals and as a base for Newport sailing. More recently it has come into its own as a repository and expository of military history. By arrangement with the state, the Fort Adams Foundation has been at work restoring the fort for decades, but only recently has the sheer magnitude of the importance of this landmark in its field of fortification truly been revealed.

Today the park offers a wide range of activities including salt water bathing, fishing, boating, soccer, rugby, and picnicking. Fort Adams is perhaps best known for its annual summer concerts when the Jazz Festival and the Folk Festival draw thousands to enjoy the music and beautiful surroundings.
You can also take guided tours of this National Historic Landmark from the top of the rampart walls to the depths of the underground tunnels and experience Hands on, jump off, crawl through America’s stories, military history and amazing architecture. Learn where officers and their families lived. Experience over 180 years of American History, military culture, architecture & engineering.

Switzerland Wrought Iron Railings

One of our employees received a scholarship to visit Zurich, Switzerland and some of their biggest companies. Of course we asked her to take pictures of some iron railings along the way, and these are some of the pictures she brought back:
This is the actual place: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g188113-d782106-Reviews-Restaurant_Orsini-Zurich.html






She said wrought iron is the norm, very few wood balconies can be found. We love how spectacular some of them are, specially the one painted in Gold. Others are simple yet efficient, like the last picture. The iron railing painted in gold looks a lot like our design that you can find here called: Flower Scroll balcony. We love to get ideas from past work or new ideas from future customers in new styles of wrought iron balconies. We are a manufacturing facility, we can make any custom made wrought iron piece. If any of these Swiss railings inspire you, or if you have another design in mind, don't hesitate and give us a call!
