WORTH KNOWING

Gates and fences

Your house is already standing! It's time to take care of the property's boundaries by choosing a fence that will provide you with privacy and security. A well-chosen fence protects you from noise, intruders and unwanted glances from passersby, but also harmonizes with the building and all its surroundings. An important element is also a solid and modern entrance gate, which will become a showpiece of your property.

Concrete and stone to guard your home

It's hard to imagine a more secure fence than a stone or concrete wall. These two solid materials today take the form of modern fences, effectively guarding the peace of mind of residents. Concrete fence posts are a solid scaffolding for openwork elements, made of steel, cast iron rod or aluminum. Their density and style can be customized according to customer preference. Look out for louvered fences with densely spaced rails to ensure that no one on the outside can see into the property.

Modern metal fences

steel, sheet metal and aluminum are materials that stand out for their durability and weather resistance. Manufacturers of garden infrastructure use them in the design of modern fences, palisades, posts and gates and wickets. Lightweight and durable aluminum structures are available in a wide range of variants by size, as well as simple and quick to install. Aluminum products are powder-coated, which effectively protects them from corrosion and allows for shades that fit in with current trends. Galvanized sheet metal rail fences powder-coated in anthracite are also very popular. The best security barrier in this group of materials is certainly steel. A steel fence with a height of at least 1.5 meters and low transparency sends a clear message: this house is solidly guarded.  

Economic and traditional solutions

Not every house needs the security of an armored wall. In many cases, a sufficient solution will be a fence mesh, which is not only economical, but also easy to install and extremely versatile. Its modern version is mesh panels made of steel rods mounted so densely that it is impossible to climb over them.

Rustic-style houses and cottages would look artificial surrounded by concrete and steel. Yet they too need solid fences. In this case, the perfect solution is a traditional wooden fence, which, with regular maintenance, looks beautiful and is sufficient protection against intruders.

Front gate, or the business card of the property

The front gate is an element that immediately catches the eye and conveys a lot of information about the status of the residents of the property. In order to make the surroundings of the house look cohesive, it is worthwhile for the gate and wicket to become a natural extension of it. From the point of view of residents, durability and ease of use are also important. Modern front gates are equipped with torsion springs, withstanding up to 25,000 cycles of operation, which means several years of trouble-free operation! It is difficult to imagine comfortable use of the gate without full automation. For this reason, traditional swing gates and manually opened gates are increasingly losing the competition to automatic gates, powered by a safe and fast drive.
