Verandahs
One of the many attributes of the early Australian
home and probably the most important is the
verandah. Harkaway Homes exclusive high wall system allows verandahs to position comfortably
to the home, creating correct
falls and profiles,
giving instant character whilst
not depriving
the home of most important light.
top
Harkaway Homes verandah packages are a late
stage attachment to the home. This is, they
simply connect to the exterior walls and
can be positioned whenever and wherever required.
Verandahs come in many shapes and sizes -
for example Harkaway Homes offer both Bullnosed
and Straight Verandahs in a choice of either
1.8m (6') or 2.4m (8') wide. Verandahs are
quoted per lineal metre and commence from
the floor level up.
Dress Accessories
Victorian Eaves Brackets add the finishing
touch above verandah lines and beyond. Solid
timber Gable Vents are both pleasing and
practical. Timber Finials, (spires atop gables)
with Leadlight windows and Front Entry surrounds
complete the homes traditional appearance.

labor, Harkaway Homes encourage this method
as the most satisfactory to achieve maximum

finish. top
