WoodLtdŽ Studio
is an aluminum
gate
architectural and iron company and a leader in the restoration and
reproduction of ornamental ironwork, recreating the detail and
quality of historic cast iron and wrought iron. Our award winning
artisans combine advanced steel fabrication technology in house
aluminum and iron foundry and long experience with the most
challenging custom, art and historic projects to produce reliable,
comprehensive solutions in ornamental ironworks. We specialize in
ornamental iron fences, cast alloy railings, cast metal rail
components, gates, balconies, building components, balusters, newel
posts, fence posts, garden tables, chairs and benches.
Every post and rail in WoodLtdŽ aluminum
fences is extruded from our exclusive alloy. While some aluminum
fence manufactures claim to use similar alloy, they seldom use it in
both their post and rails. In addition, WoodLtdŽ is the only
manufacturer that uses a high strength alloy in its pickets as well.
They are over 50% stronger than other aluminum fences. WoodLtdŽ
fences and gates are designed to suit your individual requirements
for infill fencing, swimming pool enclosures, boundary fencing,
private entrances, commercial car parking, children's playgrounds,
sacred ground declarations and robust construction. Our baked enamel
finishes are available in a wide range of colors.
Aluminum: is the chemical element
in the periodic table with the symbol Al and atomic number 13. A
silvery and ductile member of the poor metal group of elements,
aluminum is found primarily as the ore bauxite and is remarkable for
its resistance to oxidation (due to the phenomenon of passivation),
its strength, and its light weight. Aluminum is used in many
industries to make millions of different products and is very
important to the world economy. Structural components made from
aluminum are vital to the aerospace industry and very important in
other areas of transportation and building in which light weight,
durability, and strength are needed.
Alloy: is a combination, either
in solution or compound, of two or more elements, at least one of
which is a metal, and where the resulting material has metallic
properties. An alloy with two components is called a binary alloy;
one with three is a ternary alloy; one with four is a quaternary
alloy. The resulting metallic substance generally has properties
significantly different from those of its components. Alloys are
usually designed to have properties that are more desirable than
those of their components. For instance, steel is stronger than
iron, one of its main elements. Unlike pure metals, most alloys do
not have a single melting point. Instead, they have a melting range
in which the material is a mixture of solid and liquid phases. The
temperature at which melting begins is called the solidus, and that
at which melting is complete is called the liquidus. However, for
most pairs of elements, there is a particular ratio which has a
single melting point, and this is called a eutectic mixture. In
practice, some alloys are used so predominantly with respect to
their base metals that the name of the primary constituent is also
used as the name of the alloy. For example, 14 karat (58%) gold is
an alloy of gold with other elements. Similarly, the silver used in
jewelry and the aluminium used as a structural building material are
also alloys. The term "alloy" is sometimes used in everyday speech
as a synonym for "aluminium alloy"; one example of such usage is the
"alloy wheels" which might be fitted to an automobile. (This usage
is obviously imprecise, since all steels and most other metals in
practical use are also alloys.)
Gate: a point of entry to a space
enclosed by walls, or an opening in a fence. Gates may prevent
entry, or they may be merely decorative. Larger gates can be used
for a whole building, such as a castle or fortified town, or the
actual doors that block entry through the gatehouse. In ancient and
medieval times, gatehouses of cities and castles were heavily
defended and fortified to prevent breaching of the gates. Often the
gate would consist of several pairs of doors and iron grates along a
tunnel through the gatehouse. The top of the tunnel commonly had
murder holes to allow defenders to attack invaders trying to breach
the inner doors. Drawbridges were common in conjunction with gates
to facilitate passing the moat; moats were often used to increase
the effective height of the walls.
Art: by its original and broadest
definition, art (from the Latin ars, meaning "skill" or "craft") is
the product or process of the effective application of a body of
knowledge, most often using a set of skills; this meaning is
preserved in such phrases as "liberal arts" and "martial arts".
However, in the modern use of the word, which rose to prominence
during the Renaissance, art is commonly understood to be the process
or result of making material works (or artwork) which, from concept
to creation, adhere to the "creative impulse"that is, art is
distinguished from other works by being in large part unprompted by
necessity, by biological drive, or by any undisciplined pursuit of
recreation. By both definitions of the word, artistic works have
existed for almost as long as humankind, from early pre-historic art
to contemporary art. The creative arts are a collection of
disciplines whose principal purpose is in the output of material
that is compelled by a personal drive and echoes or reflects a
message, mood, and symbolism for the viewer to interpret. As such,
the term art may be taken to include forms as diverse as prose
writing, poetry, dance, acting, music, sculpture and painting. In
addition to serving as a method of pure creativity and
self-expression, the purpose of works of art may be to communicate
ideas, such as in politically-, religiously-, and
philosophically-motivated art, to create a sense of beauty (see
aesthetics and fine art) or pleasure, or to generate strong
emotions; the purpose may also be seemingly nonexistent. As a form
of cultural expression, art may be defined by the pursuit of
diversity and the usage of narratives of liberation and exploration
(i.e. art history, art criticism, and art theory) to mediate its
boundaries. This distinction may be applied to objects or
performances, current or historical, and its prestige extends to
those who made, found, exhibit, or own them. Other than originality,
there are no widely agreed-upon criteria for what is or isn't
considered "art", and there are many divergent definitions of art to
seek more specific requirements.
