Bringing Iron Age’s sales team together is always a good time. Mostly it’s just connecting with and learning from each other via computer screen at our monthly Zoom meetings, but something magical happens when we can gather #IRL. This past weekend, we did just that in one of our favorite cities, #NewOrleans! ⚜️💜⚜️💛⚜️💚 We can’t thank our amazing sales representatives enough for bringing such valuable ideas, insights, and strategies to share and to the iconic @ThePontchartrain for hosting us all with such hospitality and charm. Throw in the incredible food, music, architecture, and history of #NOLA, and it couldn’t have been a better experience!

Incorporating a complimentary mix of materials, colors, and textures, this entryway is a stunner! We’re biased, but we especially like the addition of our #castiron 24” x 48” Regular Joe grate as a #walkoffmat.

Mixing materials and textures makes for more interesting and inviting landscaping, such as the repurposing of our #castiron Oblio drain grates into this beautiful transitional walkway between patio and garden.

You’re looking at the entryway of what’s being billed as the greenest building in #Connecticut, featuring our Rain grates arrayed as a walk-off mat. The clean lines complement the building’s modern aesthetic, while the cast aluminum construction meets the sustainable material imperatives of the project, which was designed around the #LivingBuildingChallenge by @McLennanDesign.

The primary purpose of #DetectableWarningSurfaces is to provide safety, guidance, and wayfinding assistance for pedestrians who are visually impaired, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be beautiful too. We collaborated on this custom #castiron version with @CMGsite, one of many artfully designed elements in their work as the Master #LandscapeArchitect for San Francisco’s Treasure Island redevelopment.

MATERIAL SPOTLIGHT 🔦 #CastAluminum
Cast aluminum is a nice material if you’re working with a cooler color vocabulary and want the look of stainless steel. Aluminum does not really change color much over time and is generally priced somewhere between bronze ($$$) and iron ($).
Castings made from 356 aluminum have great strength when heat treated to T6, but are very lightweight—an important consideration for grates that are oversized or that need to be moved periodically after installation.
Castings made from 535 aluminum (“Almag”) can be used around pools, fountains, salt water, and other marine areas. We recommend the application of a clear anodized finish for added protection.

If there is a small number of tree grates you want to incorporate light fixtures into, the easiest and least expensive way to do that is to #waterjet cut the hole.
For larger quantities, we can make allocations in the tree grate pattern, creating custom-cast holes with an integral lip that supports the light fixture. Casting the hole is more expensive than waterjet cutting, but often it’s a superior solution as it prevents the possibility of the light fixture dropping down below the level of the tree grate.

A raw cast iron grate starts out grey in color. When it gets wet, the iron casting starts going through an oxidation phase. It looks rusty for anywhere from a few months to a year, depending on how much foot traffic and weather it gets. You eventually end up with a reddish-brown patina, like any manhole cover in the street.
