Wrought Iron Railing in Louisville, Ky., built and designed by Louisville Iron Works.

The Beauty of Wrought Iron Railings, The Strength of Steel

While traditional wrought iron is a material of the past, the desire for its classic, hand-crafted aesthetic has never been higher. At Louisville Iron Works, we specialize in creating custom ornamental steel railings that capture the intricate details and prestigious feel of historic ironwork while utilizing 21st-century manufacturing standards.

Serving the Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana area since 1983, we build railings that define the character of your home or business.

Why Choose Ornamental Steel Over Wrought Iron?

Many homeowners search for wrought iron because they value durability. However, modern steel fabrication offers several distinct advantages for your home or business:

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Unlike old-fashioned wrought iron, our steel is finished with an in-house powder coating process. This creates a baked-on shield that resists rust, peeling, and fading in the humid Kentuckiana climate.
  • Structural Integrity: Steel provides a higher strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring your handrails remain sturdy and secure for decades.
  • Maintenance-Free Luxury: Traditional iron required frequent painting and scraping. Our powder-coated steel railings stay beautiful with simple soap-and-water cleaning.
  • Unlimited Design Flexibility: Whether you want a sleek, modern look or the ornate, scrolled details of a historic 19th-century porch, our steel fabrication allows for total customization.

Our Wrought Iron Railing Process

We don’t believe in “one size fits all” solutions. Every railing we produce is a custom project designed specifically for your space.

  1. On-Site Measurement: We visit your property in Louisville, Jeffersonville, or the surrounding areas to take precision measurements, ensuring a perfect fit.
  2. Custom Fabrication: Your railings are built from high-quality steel right here in our local shop. No pre-fabricated, flimsy materials, only solid, professional-grade steel.
  3. In-House Powder Coating: To ensure the highest quality control, we finish every piece in our own shop. This accountability is why our finishes outlast the competition.
  4. Professional Installation: Our team handles the install, ensuring that every anchor point is secure and every rail is perfectly level.
