We are doing a survey on some incredible custom homes. I will take some pictures and post them at flickr next week.
These gates are one of a kind custom, and all appear to be made of steel. But they use flat panels of 26ga. or so that have lots of hues in them. Some appear that they have been discolored by heat, going to a purplish tint. Some look golden, but more like light copper than actual gold. They are all shiny on the surface, indicating clear coating. They are all sorts of designs from suns to Indian symbols to abstracts. They are a combination of tubular frame and flat panel inserts.
I was wondering if anyone knows how they get the colors in/on the metal.
I have to go to the manufacturing company next week to get the replacement costs, and that should be interesting, as I will be looking for as much as they will divulge about the process.
Nice looking stuff, and like I say, I'll have some pictures next week.
