Which is better: Composite vs Wrought Iron Gates

Selecting the Ideal Entryway: For all these reasons, at Globus Gates, we give you the opportunity to choose the gate that best suits your property's aesthetics and meets your needs in terms of functionality. Our top products include composite gates and wrought-iron gates.

Composite gates are made of wood fibers, plastics, and other recyclable materials that include plastics in their make. They are weather resistant and bug resistant, and rotting is not easily done. Wrought iron gates: These are low carbon mild steel gates. They are strong, good resistance to rust, and durability is shown.

Price considerations: Though they may have a cheaper upfront price, that of complex design actually might cost an arm and a leg. This, therefore, means that wrought iron gates are more costly at the initial stages due to the craftsmanship put in place but come with the cost value, beauty, and durability.

Customization: Composite gates are found in many colors and surface textures. On the other hand, they can’t provide the flexibility a high level of detail offers. Wrought iron gates can be as detailed in design and customized to the level required.

Maintained: Composite gates have low maintainability, which only requires cleaning once in a while. Wrought iron gates, on the other hand, require regular painting or coating, which is supposed to keep rust away.

Pros of Composite Gates:

– Durability: Resistant to rot and decay.

– Wide Ranges: Versatile styles and colors.

– Privacy: High level compared to wrought iron.

– Low Maintenance: No staining or painting needed.

– Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled materials.

Pros of Wrought Iron Gates:

– Strength and Security: Robust barrier.

– Customization: Intricate designs and timeless appeal.

– Longevity: Lasts for generations with proper maintenance.

– Classic Appeal: Sophisticated charm.


Choose the right gate: composite is modern and low maintenance, whilst wrought iron is timeless and offers elegance, flair, and customization with a bespoke style product. Globus Gates offers both options, ensuring you find the perfect gate for your property’s beauty and security.
