Wrought iron style gates
Herts Electric Gates can supply a bespoke design and build service for your driveway gate, pedestrian gate and any matching iron railings. Everyone's home is different, and styles and tastes vary — we are not limited to a few designs. Wrought iron style driveway gates look impressive and are built to last in heavy-gauge materials. They can be designed to match a traditional or a modern home.
Hardwood gates
Our wooden gates are beautifully made and naturally enhance your home. Styles vary from standard five-bar gates up to bespoke driveway and ornate entrance gates. Materials used are pressure-treated softwood, hardwood idigbo or hardwood iroko, depending on longevity requirements and budget. All of our wooden gates are strengthened to be suitable for electric gate automation.
Steel-clad hardwood gates
Steel-clad timber gates combine a rigid steel chassis with hardwood or cedar infill. The frame takes the load of the automation, while the timber gives warmth and privacy. Fixings can be concealed so the face of the gate stays clean, and the construction is well suited to both swing and sliding installations.
Aluminium gates
We provide a premium range of bespoke aluminium driveway and pedestrian gates. The range offers a virtually maintenance-free alternative to more traditional materials. Aluminium does not rust, it is very strong and relatively light, so automation systems are under very little stress. The coatings used on these gates are guaranteed for seven years.
Automatic gate systems
We can provide swing gates, sliding gates and cantilever gates in all of the materials above. We design a solution to match the requirements at your home or office and are not limited to one type of gate or material.
Swing gates
The traditional approach: simple yet stylish. Inward or outward opening depending on your requirements. Automated with either above-ground motors or more discreet underground systems where visual appeal is paramount.
Sliding gates
An alternative where space is at a premium or where an upward-sloping driveway makes swing gates impractical. Sliding gates are automated with a single motor, so they are reliable and secure. They can be made to look like a pair of swing gates if that is your preference, but in a single sliding section.
Automated cantilever gates
Specialist applications where the gate is held above the driveway via a cantilever ground system. Used where driveways cannot easily be worked, or where trucks and forklifts would damage a traditional sliding-gate track.
Automation
All of our gates are automated with high-quality systems. We are not tied to one manufacturer, so we can choose the best match for your installation and budget. Safety is at the heart of our design. We use current safety equipment and always fit systems with built-in anti-crush detectors to safeguard people and vehicles around the gated area.
