Is real wrought iron still available for railings?

True wrought iron has not been commercially manufactured in the U.S. since the 1970s. Today, virtually all 'wrought iron railings' are fabricated from mild steel, also called ornamental steel, which is stronger, more consistent, and visually identical to the classic wrought iron look. Louisville Iron Works builds all railings from high-quality steel finished with powder coating for a durable, traditional appearance.

How much do wrought iron railings cost in Louisville?

Pricing varies depending on the length, complexity, and location of the railing, deck, stairs, porch, loft, or interior. Louisville Iron Works offers free on-site estimates so you get an accurate price for your specific project. Contact us at 812-923-4325 to schedule yours.

Can you powder coat my existing wrought iron railing?

Yes. Louisville Iron Works has an in-house powder coating and sandblasting facility. We regularly refinish existing railings, gates, and wrought iron furniture, removing rust, prepping the surface, and applying a durable new powder coat finish.

What areas do you serve?

Louisville Iron Works is based in Floyds Knobs, IN and serves the greater Louisville, KY metro area as well as Southern Indiana communities including Jeffersonville, New Albany, and Clarksville. We also serve surrounding Kentucky counties including Oldham, Bullitt, and Shelby.

Yes. Louisville Iron Works provides free on-site estimates for all railing, gate, and fabrication projects. We come to your property, measure the space, and provide a clear, detailed quote. Call us at 812-923-4325 or contact us through our website.
