Some fence designs place their emphasis on function before form. These designs can be very practical for a variety of properties and needs, but when it comes to your residential area, naturally the visual appeal of a fence is a major concern. Fences are useful and keep your home, pets, and family safe, but that’s not their only role. An ornamental fence could be the key element to elevate your property above the rest and make it the best-looking house on the block.
In the Washington D.C. area, historic homes are commonplace. An ornamental fence can add to the beauty of an older home, as well as enhance the look of a newer home. One of the most recognizable ornamental fence styles is the wrought iron fence. This design, which is elegant and classic, can incorporate artistic elements such as spirals or decorative tops to really set your fence apart. Hercules Fencing provides the look of a wrought iron fence with their Ornamental Steel Fences, with the option to include custom-made paneling. The result is a product that is both durable and aesthetically appealing. A steel fence can highlight the unique features of your property, while also providing the added bonus of security; they can be made to deter intruders.
Another ornamental fence option for those in the Washington D.C. area is an aluminum fence. Unlike some other fencing materials, which are not consistently capable of dealing with rain, wind, and other types of weather, aluminum fencing is strong and will last for season after season. Aluminum fencing can be designed to be the perfect accent for your home or property.
Steel and aluminum ornamental fences are versatile and can match with many building styles. However, some homes would be best complemented by a decorative wood fence. Wood fences are the most natural looking of the ornamental fence options, and the addition of a quality wood fence to your home could increase its value.
