3. How are your products made?

Your piece will be hand built by expert craftsmen at our shop in Littleton, Colorado.

This high-quality "pickled & oiled" steel is the best foundation for a product that will last for many years. Learn more about our manufacturing process and craftsmanship.

4. What is the longevity of the finish on your products?

Every door from Artistic Iron receives a long-lasting finish. We begin by pre-cleaning the steel with a phosphate wash. Then, we apply an electrostatic powder coating (click for color samples) to ensure a beautiful appearance throughout the life of your door. We also offer additional finish treatments like clear coating and sandblasting to create a special appearance. Some colors may change slightly over time due to Colorado's extreme weather and intense sun exposure.
