Please, can you speak on the difference in quality of efficiency between steel iron, stainless steel and wrought iron?



Iron is strong, but steel is stronger. Steel is iron mixed with other elements. Can't remember the exact elements now.

Stainless steel is steel mixed with chromium which is resistant to corrosion.

Wrought iron is just bended iron.

Iron is cheaper than steel, but is still very strong. For stainless steel, you're paying extra for shine and added strength. How strong do railings need to be? Iron is plenty strong for the job, and is not tacky or gaudy like shiny steel.

I'm only talking about staircase railings though.

Thanks so much for your fast and informative response.

But most burglary proofs are made from iron no? And they are outside withstanding the elements.they last a long time. For railings that will be protected I side a house I beleive iron is suitable. And the pictures skimanski has posted are very beautiful designs.

I agree that the pictures skimanski posted are beautiful. I also agree that iron is suitable for railings.

I'm not sure what the security bars are made of in Nigeria, but I know the U.S. most of them are iron and are then powder coated or painted to resist corrosion.

Security bars are mainly made of iron in Nigeria. Sometimes steel, but mainly iron, which is also coated to resist corrosion and archive desired finish.

Great work chief, this is more of a reinvention than a renovation . Your client's great taste is reflected in his budget, and your skills are doing justice to that.
Your design is very contemporary, You might find these LED and non LED fixtures of interest,
These outdoor lamps are contemporary italian fixtures, very high quality, not the regular die-cast kinds,they're alot more beautiful in person.
The indoor lamps are equally of quality finishes

For aesthetic purpose in General. It gives the tiles this Sophisticated feel as against not using it. Also it help as a point of transformation from one tile design to the other.
