POPULAR FENCING STYLE
When it comes to improving your home's street appeal, security, and privacy, choosing the right fencing style is just as important as selecting the right material. Aluminium fencing has become one of the most popular choices among Australian homeowners thanks to its durability, low maintenance, and contemporary appearance.
At KC AluScape, we custom fabricate every fence to suit your home and lifestyle. Three of our most requested designs are blade fencing, batten fencing, and alternate batten fencing. Each style offers a unique architectural look while providing excellent strength and longevity.
Blade Fencing
Blade fencing is one of the most popular choices for contemporary homes. It features slim vertical aluminium blades that create clean, uninterrupted lines and a sophisticated architectural appearance.
The simple vertical design complements a wide range of home styles, from modern builds to renovated Queenslanders and Hamptons-inspired homes. Blade fencing can also be customised with different blade widths and gap spacing to achieve the perfect balance between privacy and openness.
Why homeowners love blade fencing
Clean, minimalist appearance
Excellent street appeal
Provides privacy while allowing airflow
Complements modern architectural homes
Low-maintenance aluminium construction
Available in a wide range of powder-coated colours
Batten Fencing
Batten fencing has become one of Australia's fastest-growing fencing styles. Using square or rectangular aluminium battens, it creates a bold, modern look with greater depth than traditional blade fencing.
The larger battens provide a more substantial appearance while maintaining excellent privacy and ventilation. Batten fencing works particularly well for front fences, boundary fencing, privacy screens, gates, and feature walls.
Why homeowners choose batten fencing
Modern architectural design
Greater rigidity and strength
Excellent privacy
Suitable for large spans and gates
Fully customisable spacing
Perfect for matching fencing, gates, and screens
Common batten sizes include 32×32mm, 38×25mm, and 40×40mm, with spacing adjusted to suit each project's privacy and design requirements.
Alternate Batten Fencing
Alternate batten fencing takes the standard batten design one step further by using battens of varying heights or widths to create a dynamic, architectural feature.
Rather than every batten being identical, alternating battens introduce rhythm, texture, and visual interest while maintaining a clean, contemporary appearance. This style has become increasingly popular for premium homes where owners want something unique and custom-made.
Benefits of alternate batten fencing
Distinctive architectural appearance
Adds depth and visual texture
Creates a premium custom look
Excellent street appeal
Can be tailored to suit any home design
Ideal for luxury residential properties
Because every project is custom fabricated, alternate batten fencing can be designed to suit almost any architectural style.
