Would Your Castle Be Better with Iron Spindles? You have undoubtedly heard the old adage that says your home is your castle. Now more than ever, with social distancing and restrictions on public activity still in place, we are all spending more time at home than ever before. As such, many of us are also thinking of ways we could improve our little castles to make them more enjoyable. This leads us to ask a question: would your castle be better with iron spindles? On the one hand, it is easy to dismiss revitalizing the staircase by reminding yourself that doing so is unnecessary. The staircase works just fine as it is. Yet there is a lot to be said about being comfortable in the home in which you live. If you are not comfortable, your home might actually be just a house. If you can do a few things to make it more comfortable without spending a fortune, you could transform that house into a home you genuinely love. For a lot of people, this means revitalizing an old balustrade by installing iron spindles. Add Depth and Beauty Perhaps you are wondering why someone would choose iron over wood. After all, wood spindles have been the standard in American home construction for decades. They are inexpensive, easy to install, and fit for purpose. As a contractor with years of experience installing iron spindles in the Atlanta region, we can tell you that a lot of people choose to switch to iron after seeing it someplace else. They see just how much depth and beauty iron spindles can add to a staircase and they want that for themselves.
Wood is a fine material. Do not misunderstand. But for some people, it is too plain. They see iron in another home or commercial building and it reminds them of classic Southern architecture that emphasizes vertical structures and depth. They begin to imagine what their own homes would look like with a brand-new balustrade featuring wrought iron. You get a certain kind of depth with iron spindles that you just don’t get with wood. Iron stands out. It offers some visual contrast. A well-designed staircase with wrought iron spindles can turn an otherwise unnoticeable element in your home into its centerpiece. Add Value to Your Home In recent weeks we have spoken with a number of clients who, as a result of spending more time at home, have come to realize that there are a lot of small jobs that need doing. All of those jobs will add value to their homes once completed. If your home still has the original balustrade it was built with way back when, ask yourself whether or not it could use an update. A loose handrail and balusters would suggest that at least some work needs to be done. Even if everything is still tight and solid, your wood spindles might be pocked with chipped paint, gouges, cracks, and dings. Replacing the balusters would add some value to your home by giving it a fresh, clean, look. And as long as you are replacing them, why not choose iron? Iron spindles offer a unique aesthetic that can separate your home from every other property perspective buyers view. The COVID-19 pandemic has most of us spending a lot more time at home. That is not always a bad thing. Just remember that your home is your castle. If it’s not as comfortable as it could be,maybe it’s time for you to take some action. Consider whether or not your castle would be better with iron spindles. Then contact us for an estimate.
