SERVICES & PRODUCTS
What we can do for you....
We specialise in hand forged wrought ironwork and steel fabrications, producing custom-made items such as:
Wrought-Iron Furniture............Hand made to ourdesign, or yours.....

Curtain Poles and fittings, made to measure for bay windows and straight ones, we get quite a lot of enquiries about
Curtain Poles for Bay Windows.
For Large windows with heavy curtains, the strongest type or curtain rail is a rolled tube, either Brass or Steeltubes rolled to a curve to fit inside the window and supported by our ridgid fixings of the Marine Type which securely clamp the pole. In fact, though we've never done one, you could also have a Copper tube, which would look beautiful, as long as you could keep it polished up. <
For most windows though, a curtain pole of 20 or 25mm steel round bar, formed with corners, "threepenny-bit" style, to match the corners between the windowsand supported in our forged strap & cotter type of mountings will do the job, and are much cheapoer than rolled tube. This type can also fit closer to the window,and have various designs of forged ends, or screwed on steel spheres. <

Beds, Tables, Chairs, Fireguards, Window Guards, Mirror Frames

REAL WROUGHT IRON
We are always on the lookout for OLD RAILINGS or other things which are made of wrought iron, as this is becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of.
We will purchase and remove old wrought iron structures and fittings, please do give us a call if you know of any that are going to be scrapped and replaced.

SOLID IRON FORGED IN SCOTLAND
We are skilled at hand forging iron, particulary in forging flat sections edge on, which can only be done with hot metal, and by hand, as far as I know.
We do not buy in so called artistic ironwork, and then spray it together with a mig welder
For any enquiries telephone on 01506 856334 or email enquiries@eiw2.com
