Our Oklahoma sales rep @CodyR628 captured a unique image looking through the 👁️ of our Needle bollard!
At Iron Age, we design our bollards so you don’t have to choose between aesthetics and safety. Decorative #castmetal bollards like the Needle enhance the surrounding area's architectural style and visual appeal while providing all the necessary protections.

👀 #IronAgeSighting 👀
While traveling to speak with design firms across this beautiful country of ours, Iron Age president Mark Armstrong loves to check in on local area project installations. On his latest trip to #SantaBarbara, he swung by @PaseoNuevoSB and found our Interlaken grates looking just as good as they did when they were installed back in 2020!

The expansion of Wind Creek Casino in #BethlehemPA features a design palette evoking the molten metal, powerful machinery, and industrial ambiance of nearby historic steel mills.
As such, the energy and movement suggested by the patterns of our #castmetal Dynamo and Spin grates make them the perfect finishing touches to the #hardscape surrounding the casino entrance.

We ❤️ a good #IronAgeSighting 👀 and @con_leche3 and @joanneeep do not disappoint! Take it from them,
once you catch your first glimpse of Iron Age in the wild, you won’t be able to walk past another grate again without checking to see if it’s ours! So don’t forget to #LookDown and If you find us there, take a pic and let us know! We’d love to share it!

🔦 Spotlight on PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DESIGN! Day 4 of 4
Located outside a renovated building on the @SeattleU campus, this #pedestrianbridge solves a common problem—how to preserve and protect an existing tree and incorporate it into your overall project design.
Landscape architect @Mithun_Design came up with an elegant solution, designing a slightly elevated walkway that goes up and over the root system of what the university considers one of its “legacy trees”—a large #redoak situated right next to the entrance of this hall.
A steel frame provides a 12’ x 36’ platform for an array of our #castiron Rain heel-proof grate panels to sit on. The bridge frame includes galvanized steel wheel stop edges for ADA accessibility and safety, and some grates were #waterjet cut to allow placement of an ADA door button post.

🔦 Spotlight on PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DESIGN! Day 3 of 4
Photo #1: Landscape Architect @HordCoplanMacht re-purposed our 12” x 20” Locust heel-proof grates to create this stunning stairway on the @LoyolaMaryland campus in #Baltimore.
Photo #2: The stairs lead directly onto a #pedestrianbridge deck/building entryway, which also features our cast iron Locust heel-proof grates but in larger 20” x 40” panels.
Photo #3: The frame holding the grates features a raised steel edge and cable wire railing for safety.
Photo #4: The light coming through to the underside of the bridge deck beautifully casts our Locust pattern onto surrounding surfaces, adding another element of visual interest.

🔦 Spotlight on PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DESIGN! Day 2 of 4
We partnered with world-renowned design firm @KenFulk on this #pedestrianbridge for @TheBatterySF, a members-only social club and luxury boutique hotel.
The bridge consists of (12) custom 49” x 66” cast iron grate panels in our Interlaken pattern sitting atop an 11’ x 25’ steel frame.
The grates were cast in halves with an 18” Dia. opening where the panels meet. Kiln-cast glass inserts from @Bullseye_Studio cover the openings and are lit from below at night.

🔦 Spotlight on PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DESIGN! Day 1 of 4
Landscape architects who incorporate our decorative grating into their #pedestrianbridge decks transform them from purely functional walkways to artistic design elements. We thought we’d spend this week showcasing the work of four architects who did just that.
Today’s featured project is one of the first pedestrian bridges we worked on, and these photos show why it’s still one of our favorites.
Both functionality and form were equal considerations when @TowersGoldeCT incorporated this eye-catching elevated walkway into their site plans.
The permeable bridge deck, clad in #castaluminum 20” x 40” Locust heel-proof grate panels, is just one element in a complex system beautifully designed to capture, filter, and detain runoff from @UMass Life Science Laboratories roof and surrounding paved areas.
A 42” high cable railing system was installed on both sides of the bridge for pedestrian safety.
