Choosing a white wrought-iron bed

A wrought-iron white bed will help to add sophistication to the bedroom interior. Unlike traditional wooden metal beds, they diversify the decor, bring originality, uniqueness, and serve as a special decoration for the bedroom.

The frame of forged beds is completely made of metal. For their manufacture, a wide variety of metals are used: iron, copper, aluminum, as well as alloys: brass, cast iron, bronze.

Forging technology is based on hot and cold metal working. Cold way also called stamping, when finished forms are filled with metal, and with the help of mechanisms, the necessary configuration of parts is obtained.

A more expensive and exclusive way - hot forging. It is handmade, more time consuming and more creative. The metal is heated to 600-700 ° C, then, using a hammer and tongs, manually give the product the required shape. Then the parts are welded, polished, covered with a primer and paint, in this case white.

Models of metal beds differ in size, shape, and pattern of forged parts, as well as in general style:

• as usual, by dimensions beds are divided into double, single (120x200, 140x200, 200x200) and children's beds;
