Wrought iron glass doors are great for adding more light into the home while maintaining the highest glass privacy since the back glass is usually a full piece of textured glass.

Yet, they can start to show signs of age if you do not clean and maintain your door. They can also develop rust, just like other types of metals exposed to the elements.

Wrought iron is highly malleable, allowing it to be heated, and re-heated, and worked into various shapes—wrought iron grows stronger the more it's worked and is characterized by its fibrous appearance. Wrought iron contains less carbon than cast iron, making it softer and more ductile.
