Why Automated Gates Are the Ultimate Home Luxury That Pays Off

1. Everyday Ease: A Luxury You’ll Use Daily

Most “home upgrades” go unused for weeks. Automated gates, on the other hand, enhance your daily life every time you leave or return home.

• No more stepping out in rain or snow to open a gate
• Open and close with your phone, remote, or keypad
• Grant temporary access to guests or deliveries
• Geo-fencing allows gates to open automatically as you arrive
  

Convenience isn’t just about saving time—it’s about eliminating friction from your lifestyle.

2. The Design Statement That Starts at the Curb

An automated gate is more than a functional barrier—it’s a visual anchor for your home’s exterior. It adds elegance, symmetry, and prestige to your property, instantly increasing perceived value.

Choose from:

• Modern minimalist gates with clean horizontal slats
• Wrought iron with scrollwork for classic estates
• Aluminum and composite combinations for contemporary curb appeal
• Custom colours and finishes to match your architecture
  

At Art Metal, every gate is fabricated in-house by master craftsmen—so your vision isn’t limited by catalog options.

3. Boosting Property Value with Functional Appeal

In competitive real estate markets like Toronto, buyers are increasingly looking for smart, secure, and self-sufficient homes.

An automated gate can:

• Increase your home’s appraised value
• Enhance its visual appeal on listings
• Demonstrate proactive security and privacy features
• Differentiate your property in neighbourhoods with similar builds
  

It’s not just a gate—it’s an asset.

4. Smart Security, Seamlessly Integrated

A stunning gate also serves a crucial purpose: keeping your property secure without feeling like a fortress.

We offer:

• Video intercoms and camera integration
• Keypad or card reader entry for service providers
• Temporary access codes for deliveries and guests
• Auto-close timers for peace of mind
  

Paired with smart home systems like Ring, Google Nest, or Control4, your gate becomes part of a fully connected perimeter.

5. Engineered for Toronto’s Year-Round Weather

Art Metal gates are built for Canadian conditions, not California dreams. That means:

• Cold-resistant motors for smooth operation in sub-zero temps
• Powder-coated finishes to resist rust, salt, and snow
• Drainage planning to prevent seasonal jamming
• Optional battery backups for power outages
  

You’ll get flawless operation from January to July—and back again.

6. Real Homeowner Story: From Frustration to Freedom

A homeowner in Mississauga had a manual wrought iron gate they had to open by hand every morning before work and again at night—rain, shine, or snow. Art Metal installed a dual swing automated gate system with smartphone control and keypad access.

Now:

• They open the gate with a tap before leaving the house
• Couriers can drop packages securely via one-time codes
• Their kids can ride bikes inside a fully enclosed yard
  

Luxury isn’t always about extravagance—it’s about living better every day.

Conclusion: Don’t Just Protect Your Home—Elevate It

An automated gate is one of the few investments that combines beauty, utility, and prestige in one upgrade. It secures what matters, streamlines daily life, and elevates your home’s presence in the neighborhood.

With Art Metal’s expertise in custom design, automation integration, and high-performance installation, your gate isn’t just an entrance—it’s an experience.
