Want security and to make a lasting first impression? Decorative metal gates give you the ability to do exactly that, protecting your property and making a statement that no one can miss. Whether it’s a private residence, a business, a community park, or even an industrial facility, choosing a gate can offer aesthetic appeal paired with functional security, meeting multiple needs with one simple solution.
Metal gates with decorative elements have a certain combination of beauty and durability. The best part is that we can customize them to your unique property needs and even other security integrations. This is an excellent choice for property owners looking to enhance their spaces without sacrificing strength or longevity. Today’s options and the solutions we provide at MFR Corp. have various elements that allow you to choose designs, materials, and configurations to suit any need. Let’s take a closer look.
The Perfect Blend of Form and Function
Decorative metal gates are used for far more than just curb appeal. Certainly, the visual appearance is part of the formula for a decorative gate, but it should be able to provide so much more than just decoration. These gates can offer property owners critical security, access control, and long-term resilience. They aid in protecting against wear, tear, intruders, and even weather in some cases. The modern designs balance out functionality with visual impact. This means they can be ideal in settings where appearance and performance are both a necessity.
These are some key advantages in form and function:
- Enhanced Property Value: a well-designed gate will elevate the overall impression of the property with security and sophistication that cause property value to increase.
- Increase Security: a gate system paired with a quality fence system offers more security for your property. This is even more the case when high-strength materials and thoughtful designs are used to deter unauthorized access while still maintaining a good appearance.
- Durability: with the use of high-quality materials like galvanized metals and powder coated steel, as well as other materials, you have a gate that will be durable, resistant to corrosion and rust, and will last against even harsh conditions outdoors.
- Customization: you can make your gate what you want or need, choosing from a wide range of styles, patterns, and finishes to fully customize the look and the type of security the gate offers to your property.
Decorative Metal Gate Solutions
The decorative metal gates at MFR Corp come in many different varieties and options. You can work directly with our designers and engineers to determine what will best meet your needs. Modern decorative gates are designed to be diverse and meet varying property needs. You should never be expected to conform to a solution that doesn’t truly work for your property – or even your preferences.
Below, you will find an overview of some common gate solution options.
Sliding Gates
Sliding gates can be useful when a property has limited space for a swinging opening or closing motion – or when you simply don’t prefer that type of design. These eliminate the wide opening of a traditional gate and still provide the gate solution. They work by sliding horizontally along a track or cantilever system so you can smoothly open and close the gate as needed.
Sliding gates can be customized and have infill panels added for visual flair. Those customizations will not compromise security. These are built for heavy use and can handle high cycling needs. They are great for residential complexes, industrial facilities, commercial properties, or eliminating the swing gate style.
Swing Gates
Swing gates hold a certain classic appeal that many people prefer. They are a timeless option. They are popular for areas like upscale properties, community centers, driveways, parks, and other similar spaces. However, they are not limited to these environments.
With a swing gate, you can still customize the design and integrate various features or preferences. We design them with single or double leaf configurations, depending on the space as well as design needs. There are plenty of decorative solutions, and we make each gate with heavy-duty hinges and framing to ensure they last.
Vertical Lift Gates
This solution is far less common because it is challenging and expensive to establish. However, it is an option that you might be able to consider. Vertical lift gates are used when space is limited but the needs for quality security are high. It’s an innovative choice in these situations, lifting the gate upward rather than swinging or sliding it.
These are most commonly going to be used in a secure facility or certain commercial and industrial facilities.
Pedestrian Gates
This type of gate is going to hold all the traditional elements of any other gate, but it is uniquely designed for an entry point that doesn’t require full vehicle length. It’s a secure and controlled access point that is large enough for individuals but will restrict anything more than that from entering. These are common for areas like apartment complexes, campuses, private spaces, parks, and similar locations.
