What it the price difference between hollow and solid WI and MS grille? Seldom I get people quating the solid one why?

Anyone mind to share pictures of WI and MS because I can't tell but just have to take it when the quoter say this is WI or MS. Can it tell by appearance?

Thank you thumbup.gif

dig back on my previous explanation....

Wrought Iron is another type of metal.. but due to escalating cost, people do not user WI, but take MS and hammered into textured shape...

as time goes by, people still call WI when they see textured MS

You mean there is not real WI in the market right now, all are MS?

I wont say ALL, but mostly....
last time, when real wrought iron are forged by cast it into moulds into a panel shape
like in the pic

but it is darn expensive to cast a shape like the pic...

it all depends on you(as owner)

what do you want?

textured shape? finishing? powder coat? antique? coloured?

in the end, it is the colour paint & protection paint that dictates its service life.

P/S many fabricator will ask you to go for powder coat... why? save their time in painting. painting wrought iron is a tedious job...

Hi Awakened Angel, thanks for the sharing...Yeah the WI outside don't look like the pic that you shown. So when they said it is WI mean just by the name not really the material...But powder coat should have better rust protection than painting right?
