Bespoke metalwork and fabrications can bring your creative ideas to fruition. They can be used in public areas such as schools, parks and children’s playgrounds as well as in and around businesses and homes. If you already have a particular design in mind then Alpha Rail can work alongside yourself or with architects and engineers to bring your ideas to life.

A previous project that Alpha Rail worked on, involved creating a range of bespoke railing designs for a local primary school. The railings featured a range of educational, creative and colourful designs, which were designed to create an inspiring and stimulating environment for the pupils. Another more recent project that Alpha Rail has worked on was the prestigious Speakers Corner in Hyde Park. For this project Alpha Rail designed a specialist themed railing with rail heads denoting a Megaphone to reflect the rich history of Speakers Corner.

Alpha Rail have also produced and designed a range of bespoke fabrications for residential properties. A popular choice is a decorative internal balustrade, which can be used to add a creative and unique look to your home. If you don’t have a design in mind then Alpha Rail can work with you to come up with a design that suits both your taste and style of property. Bespoke fabrications are an excellent addition to any home, improving the appearance and in some cases even the value of your property.

The Benefits of Wrought Iron Gates

Entrance gates are a great way to enhance your home, business or even a public area in so many ways. For a private residential property you can make the entrance to your property even more beautiful and unique by using wrought iron gates to give your home a smarter and more attractive appearance. Perhaps the most important benefit of installing wrought iron gates is the improvement to your homes security. Alpha Rail has a fantastic selection of classic and modern gate designs that can be made using wrought iron.

For Businesses and public areas such as parks and children’s playgrounds, the addition of a secure wrought iron gate and railing system can really improve security as well as safety for children. A secure gate will keep people out of public businesses, parks and playgrounds when they are closed and prevent any theft, vandalism or antisocial behaviour from taking place. Gate and railing systems are also used to prevent young children from running out of park and playground areas into dangerous busy roads. Not only do they provide security and safety benefits but they are also a fantastic way of brightening and smartening up otherwise dull or run down areas.

There are many gate styles to choose from and Alpha Rail will help you choose the best design for your needs. If you’re looking for a swinging gate then the most important thing you must consider is whether you want your gate to open inwards or outwards. If you are looking to install a gate on a slope then it must open away from the slope otherwise it will not open fully. Alternatively if you’re suffering from a lack of space then a sliding gate is the perfect solution, as the gate slides across the entrance and doesn’t require any additional space.

A more extravagant and luxurious option is an automated gate. An automated gate allows you to open the gate electronically rather than manually opening it yourself. This is a good option for a drive way of a private property or business car park as it makes it easier to enter through the gate in a car. You can also install an intercom system that enables you to allow visitors to enter through the gate easily and securely. Automated gates can also improve the value of your property, as safety and security are very attractive features to potential buyers.

Wrought iron gates are very easy to care for as they are very weather resistant and require very little maintenance making them a very worthwhile investment. Visit the Alpha Rail website or call them today to discuss your requirements.
