Ornamental Ironwork and Security Bars in Washington, DC
Ornamental Ironwork can be custom created in classical, historic, contemporary, or modern styles. In the historic buildings of Washington DC, many historic buildings do not meet modern requirements for egress and escape to qualify for occupancy when buildings are being converted or renovated. Many of these issues relate to egress at security doors and security bars, Infinity Design Solutions can provide you with design solutions that will pass inspections and maintain your preferred style. For example, single cylinder locks are required in many cases, but many homes in our city, for years, have relied on double cylinder locks. When the locks are changed to allow for egress, the security functions can be defeated, and vice versa. As an alternative to compromising security to allow for egress, we can build guards or screens to custom fit the configuration and allow for elements of Code required egress and still maintain a high degree of security. An example of classic rolled ironwork follows.
