We generally recommend letting our grates age natu We generally recommend letting our grates age naturally, but we can deliver #InstantGratification too! If bypassing the temporary orange oxidation (a.k.a. #rusty) phase of raw cast iron is preferred for project aesthetics, we offer an eco-friendly solution called #BakedOnOilFinish. We start out with a raw #castiron grate, get it good and rusty, then dip it in #recycled vegetable oil and bake it. The natural oxidation process is still occurring under the surface, but this finish allows for a more smooth, graceful transition to final #patina. • • • #IronAge #IronAgeDesigns #IronAgeGrates #Sustainability #MadeInUSA

#RustIsBeautiful 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Raw #castiron st #RustIsBeautiful 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Raw #castiron starts out grey in color, but upon contact with water, a bright orange oxide develops. This loosely adhering layer (a.k.a. #rust) easily washes or wears away, leaving behind a more tightly adhering oxide coating that actually protects the grate from further corrosion. What you end up with is a warm, reddish-brown #patina, similar to any manhole cover in the street. • • • #Grate #TrenchDrain #Drainage #DrainageSolutions #HardscapeDesign #LandscapeArchitecture #Craftsmanship #IronAge #IronAgeDesigns #IronAgeGrates #Recycled #Sustainability #MadeInUSA
