Wrought iron and laser cut panel prices can vary over a wide range depending on many variables. It is important to understand these factors in advance in order to make the right budget plan.
Key Factors That Determine Price
1. Material Type
The type of metal used is the most important factor that directly affects the price:
- Black steel: The most economical option
- Galvanised steel: 20–30% more expensive than black steel
- Stainless steel: 2–4 times more expensive than black steel
- Aluminium: In the mid-price range, cheaper than stainless steel
2. Panel Size
Naturally, larger panels use more material and are therefore more expensive. However, the unit price per square metre is generally lower for larger panels — meaning ordering in large quantities reduces the unit cost.
3. Pattern Complexity
Simple geometric patterns are cut faster compared to detailed and delicate arabesque or organic patterns. Therefore, as pattern complexity increases, labour time extends and costs rise.
4. Metal Thickness
There is approximately a 3-fold difference in material cost between a 1 mm panel and a 3 mm panel. Thick material is required for applications requiring security and durability, which increases cost.
5. Surface Treatment
The raw metal can be left as is, or different surface treatments can be applied:
- Raw (untreated): Lowest cost, suitable for interiors
- Powder coating: Offers colour options, +15–25% cost
- Galvanising: Durable for outdoor environments, +20–35% cost
- Stainless polished finish: Premium appearance, highest cost
6. Custom Design vs. Standard Design
Our 315 standard models in the catalogue are kept in stock, so delivery time is short and cost is lower. Custom design involves additional design and programming costs.
Value for Money Assessment
Wrought iron panels generate value over the years with a low total cost of ownership thanks to their long-lasting and easy-to-maintain structure. Especially in outdoor applications, they are far more long-lasting compared to wood or plastic alternatives.
