When considering a new build, our mind typically goes straight to the home itself or the interior. However, the exterior is just as important. Using metal fabrication, there are numerous cosmetic additions that you can add to the front and back land of the build to bring the entire project to life. Whether your next project is a large commercial build, an apartment block, a small office, or a small residential upgrade, we believe it could benefit from these next suggestions.
Pergolas
A pergola has numerous benefits for a build as a metal fabrication. While enhancing aesthetic appeal, it also provides a level of shade and protection from the elements. One of the most common types of pergolas are steel pergolas. These are commonly built in a crosshatch pattern, which is then frequently used to climb numerous plants up and around the structure. The use of a pergola is common in residential projects, however, is also highly beneficial to bigger commercial builds. Residential apartment buildings frequently use these additions on their roof tops and exterior areas to provide a level of shade. Due to their design, they allow the area to still have an outdoors feel by not completely obstructing the view of the sky.
Pergolas are also beneficial for purely cosmetic purposes. Commercial and office buildings may opt to include a pergola at the front of the build, creating an interesting exterior. When combining this with climbing plants, this can create an organic feel to the design. An additional benefit to steel pergolas is that they can withstand being exposed to elements and require substantially less upkeep to other materials.
Fencing/gates
While fencing and gates are generally a necessary aspect of a build, they can also add an aesthetic element to a design. Gates can be custom designed using a laser cutter to add decorative flair to a typically ordinary addition. Gates can also be designed to match the style of home you are building, for example, this Hamptons style aluminium gate.
Having a custom fabricated gate ensures that the entire project flows seamlessly, no matter the scope of work or style. The Fabrication Company can fabricate all gates for an entire project, whether they be pedestrian gates, side gates, sliding gates, or driveway gates.
Custom fabricated fencing is another external aspect of a build that should be considered when curating the overall design. Similarly to gates, this can be matched to the design of your project, and contribute to the overall aesthetic of the build.
Arbours
Arbours and entryways are vital to an overall design. As the first aspect of a build that is seen, they set the tone for the rest of the project. Aluminium arbours are a great option for commercial builds, as they are built to withstand the elements. They are also a smart way of adding design elements that match with the current modern trends of industrial inclusions.
Aluminium arbours can also be used at the side of rear of a property. This creates a semi-shaded area or an interesting garden feature. When combined with the smart additions of custom fabricated fencing, gates, and pergolas- your project will have never looked better!
