It is an ancient craft, the art of casting iron shapes. Artisans have been using this technique to make intricate and beautiful designs for countless years. At LF we are proud to keep this old craft and make beautiful shapes in cast iron that can be used for many applications.
Creating intricate patterns with gray cast iron requires skill, patience and skill. Our artisans meticulously carve the design into a mold that is poured with hot liquid iron. Once the iron is cool and hard, the mold is removed to reveal the beautiful design below. Whether fancy gates or pretty decorations, cast iron moulding has virtually limitless design possibilities.
How the best cast iron shapes are formed The process of producing strong cast iron shapes begins with selecting the best materials. At LF we select the highest quality iron to ensure our products will be durable and stand the test of time. We melt the iron down using this appropriate powdered material, temperature profile and giving us the shape that we want. This cautious approach ensures that our cast iron forms are more than just pretty, but sturdy enough to stand the test of time.
Watching the transformation from molten metal into these shiny cast iron shapes is pure magic. As the iron cools and becomes hard, the iron takes the shape of the mold, with every minuscule detail of the design. Our craftspeople then gently remove the mold to reveal the finished piece, which is then hand polished and finished until it meets perfection. The outcome is a beautiful work of art that compliments any space.
When studying the process and history of cast iron moulding, it is easier to understand how many of the traditions of this old method are held so dear. Cast iron has been a popular material for centuries, from making tools and weapons to all sorts of decorative trinkets and even parts of buildings. At LF, we continue this tradition and apply the countless lessons from the past to produce cast iron designs that are both modern and functional.
