What Type of Balustrade Should I Choose For My Verandah?

In Australia, your Verandah is a hugely important part of your home where you can sit and enjoy the sun or a lazy evening, host gatherings and events or simply spend time with your family outdoors. 

There are a few factors to take into consideration when you choose the balustrades to fit your verandah and a lot of it comes down to the style of your home and verandah, as well as what you would like to use your verandah for. Read on for some of the most popular styles of verandahs and what balustrades you should think of getting to suit them.

Bullnose

Bullnose verandahs are known for being curved at the end in a way that can help to protect from sunlight and other weather conditions. They also add great aesthetic value to your home. 

If keeping the sun out is important to you, slatted or aluminium balustrades might be the best option as they provide the most coverage from the sun so that you can sit on your verandah without any worries of burning or getting too hot.

Concave

This traditional verandah style includes a slight dip. This can also be known as an eyelash profile due to the way it curves. To fit alongside this, a great option for balustrades would be wire as it allows a good view while still ensuring there is a clear boundary and providing a solid barrier to prevent accidents.

Convex

Commonly used in Victorian builds, convex verandahs are curved with a downward tilt. Considering this, glass or even frameless balustrades would be a good idea in order to maximise the amount of light that can get into your verandah. 

Glass balustrades are still strong and sturdy but also offer a timeless view. These are perfect for homes with large gardens or nice spaces to look out over.

Ogee



An ogee verandah has a dip followed by a downward curve. This unique and stylish type of verandah could benefit from simple frameless balustrades to ensure that there is not too much going on with your verandah and avoid the styles clashing. 

Clear glass with minimal framing is also a great way to bring the outside into your home and could work brilliantly for any style of verandah.
