Other sections not shown on the list may be produced by rolling, if in sufficient quantity, or by forging in smaller quantities.

There is generally a restriction on the available lengths of these larger sections.

We roll plate from 3/32" to 2" thick. The maximum standard sheet width is 16" however we can go wider in certain circumstances so contact us to discuss your requirements.

Mouldings & Special Sections

By forging, we can produce mouldings to your pattern. A tooling charge is generally applicable to these special sections.

Forgings

Special forgings in puddled wrought iron are possible up to a maximum weight of about 100lbs. Or in exceptional circumstances even larger.

Charcoal Iron

Charcoal iron is more typical of pre -19th century irons, or what has come to be known as Swedish Iron. It is available by special request, particularly in sheet form, which lends itself admirably to repousee work.

Handrail Sections

We usually hold certain sizes of handrail in stock, others are rolled to order and might incurr a tooling charge. Certain sections of rolled, moulded handrail sections are available only in mild steel. Please ask for further information.

Imperial Sizes
