Security with artistic flair for this summer
It is a time of opening doors to let in the cool breeze or heading away for holidays, and you want to do this with peace of mind that your family and your home are safe this summer. You can achieve this, while adding something of beauty to your home that will add value rather than detract from your home aesthetic. With the magic of ironwork, there is no design limitation on what you can achieve - whether it is a Celtic masterpiece or a eucalyptus tree branch! Jalmer wrought

Functional and artistic balcony features
Rather than filling a gap where the hot summer sun hits thier balcony with an extension of awning, this Mandurah client decided to do something a bit special. After seeing Jalmer at the last HIA Home Show, they made contact to see if we could build a piece of artwork on a hinge, that could close over and block out the harsh afternoon sun, and then be opened as a piece of wall art for other times of the day. Shown in the closed position, this artwork features local fauna, such

Ascot renovation before and after...
Truly inspiring renovation of a home in Ascot, Perth - from a pleasant home to a wow-factor home. Jalmer provided the finishing touches which included a fence-line that reflects the unique Swan River nearby. We also supplied an organic-style letterbox that also makes a statement, and fits with the styling of the metalwork on the property. Wayne Jeffery from Jalmer worked closely with the client and the builder to work in with building schedules and other trades to make it a h

Landscape features that restore treasures of the past...
This landscape by Martin Cuthbert Landscapes features two pieces by artist Wayne Jeffery, from Jalmer Wrought Iron. The first is the letterbox, which has a hand-cut design that reflects the client's love of the rural landscape where they spend a lot of their time. "The letterbox artwork not only adds a unique feature to the landscape, but it also has functionality being lockable, able to hold A4 envelopes and has the 'light box' design that enables visitors to find you at nig

Gates that are more than meets the eye...
This property owner in Ascot was looking to make a statement with front gates and infill panels that fit perfectly with the river outlook of the street, with its local birdlife, reeds and eucalyptus branches to create a perfect entry to the beautiful home. What is not so obvious is the fact that this property is now fully secure with the following features: - fully welded design, so there is no accessing through panels and the variable heights make it difficult to climb over;

Kim has just delivered this unique board to its new home in Bunbury Western Australia. The family were visiting Wills Domain Winery in Yallingup, Western Australia when they fell in love with this one-off art piece and just had to have it.

'The Traveller' the story behind the work
All of Wayne's art has a story and we find there is one person out there who just says 'they have to have it!' This piece was no different. Wayne built the stand a few years ago, originally intended to be an umbrella stand but it just didn't 'work'. So it was set aside until the right inspiration surfaced... The turtle was built as a test for Wayne, who loves recreating nature from recycled steel. Again, his intention was to put it into a console table for the gallery, but
