Chatterton Lacework offers a wide range of lacework and lace balustrades to suit the needs of Victorian weatherboard cottages.

Victorian cottages are typically simple in design and have a single-storey plan. Chatterton Lacework offers a wide range of lacework and lace balustrades to enhance these properties with lace designs registered during the period 1840-1890.

The architecture of the Victorian cottage features a corrugated iron roof, timber boards and timber or cast iron verandah posts on the porch with lace balustrades and lacework in between the posts. Pitched roofs are common in these cottages.

To get the Victorian cottage look, seek out similar properties in the area and replicate the lace designs. Match existing features using materials such as authentic timber boards. Ensure adequate underfloor ventilation. Remove later additions such as aluminium windows, and replace with traditionally sized timber models. Avoid high fences and carports.
