Clip-on aluminium battens are battens fixed by a concealed bracket and clip rather than screwed through the face, so the finished run shows no visible fasteners. Knotwood’s Clip Batten system uses a continuous bracket that the batten snaps onto, which also allows spacing and angle to be set on site. Available across 25mm and 50mm suites in over 20 shapes and sizes, as part of our aluminium battens range.
This fixing system is a strong fit for facades and feature walls wanting an uninterrupted, seamless finish, architectural screens where a clean, considered look matters, and ceiling batten runs needing a smooth, consistent appearance from below.
Clip Battens share the same aluminium construction and architectural-grade finishes as the rest of Knotwood’s batten range. The concealed clip position also protects the fixing point from direct weather exposure, a genuine advantage on coastal or high-humidity sites.
Clip Battens are available across 25mm and 50mm suites, with over 20 profile shapes and sizes, plus batten brackets, spacers, joiners and endcaps to suit. Adjustable batten spacers allow the gap between battens to be customised from 25mm up to 40mm on the 25mm suite, or up to 50mm on the 50mm suite.
A Batten Bracket fixes to the substrate first, then each batten presses onto it until it clicks into place, concealing the fixing point entirely behind the batten face for a clean, seamless run with no visible hardware.
Where batten ends are exposed, press-fit end caps finish the run. They knock into position and can be secured with fasteners or sealed with metal glue, matching aluminium end caps are available for every batten shape and size.
Inspiration
The Finn is anchored in its coastal setting. Venetian render recalls the softness of sand beneath bare feet, while enduring travertine reflects the strength of the headland. Curved Hinoki aluminium screens flow into matching soffits, creating sculptural harmony, tactile rhythm and a timeless coastal presence.
Vary batten spacing to create distinctive visual effects.
Combine different shapes and sizes to craft a unique look.
Mix and match different timber colours to create realistic and dynamic timber looks.
Our battens can flex around curves and arches, opening up creative possibilities for unique and organic designs.
Clip-On Aluminium Battens are Knotwood’s batten system that fixes to a wall or ceiling using a concealed two-part bracket-and-clip system. A Batten Bracket secures to the substrate first, then each batten presses onto the bracket until it clicks into place, concealing every fixing point behind the batten face for a clean, uninterrupted finish with no visible hardware. Knotwood Clip Battens are available in architectural-grade timber-look and solid-colour finishes.
The Batten Bracket is fixed to the substrate first, then the batten presses or clips onto the bracket until it locks into place, so the fixing point sits entirely behind the batten face. Because no screw or bolt penetrates the batten’s visible surface, the finished run shows only the batten profile, with no fastener holes, heads or caps interrupting the look.
All four systems share the same aluminium construction and architectural-grade finishes. The difference is the fixing method and the design intent. Clip Battens use a concealed bracket and clip for a seamless run with no visible fasteners. Track Battens are also concealed, but fix to a continuous track that sets the alignment for the whole run in one step, with clips positioned along it to set the spacing. They are designed around ceiling and interior wall runs. Flip Battens are a single self-mating profile: two identical lengths are cut, one flipped to mirror the other, and pressed together to form a rectangular batten with all fixings concealed inside. Panel Battens are engineered for larger spans such as wide commercial facades and expansive ceiling runs. All four sit within the Knotwood aluminium battens range.
Clip-On Aluminium Battens suit any application where the batten finish is the visual focus and visible fixings would detract from it. Common applications include facades and feature walls requiring a seamless, uninterrupted look, architectural screens, and ceiling batten runs where a smooth, consistent appearance matters from below.
Yes. The clip fixing system suits both wall and ceiling installations. On walls it delivers a seamless facade or feature wall finish, and on ceilings it produces a consistent, smooth batten run from below. The bracket fixes to the substrate in both cases, but the substrate itself differs, and a ceiling run also has to account for services above it. Send us your ceiling or wall detail and our technical team will confirm the bracket spacing and fixing method for it.
Yes. Batten spacing is fully adjustable, Knotwood’s adjustable batten spacers allow the gap between battens to be customised from 25mm up to 40mm on the 25mm suite, or up to 50mm on the 50mm suite. Battens can also be installed at multiple angles, 0°, 45°, 90° and 135°, using Knotwood’s octagonal batten clip head, which inserts into the mounting track at the chosen angle.
Knotwood aluminium battens are not deemed combustible when tested to AS 1530.1, and the aluminium achieves a Spread of Flame Index of 0 to AS/NZS 1530.3. The profiles also hold a Group Number 1 classification under AS 5637.1, the highest of the four classifications for wall and ceiling linings. Bushfire construction is assessed against AS 3959 using the Bushfire Attack Level for the site, and compliance is determined by the assembly rather than the material alone. Battens have not been assessed as a standalone bushfire element, so send us your BAL rating and the application and our technical team will confirm what we can supply.
Aluminium is corrosion resistant, and the concealed clip position protects the fixing point from direct weather exposure, which matters on a coastal or high-humidity site. Wind loading depends on the height, the batten spacing and the exposure of the site rather than on the material, so it is set by the structural design. For marine zone installations, 304 or 316 grade stainless steel fasteners are required, with an insulating barrier or rubber washer to prevent galvanic contact. Send us your site location and wind region and we will confirm the fixing detail.
Knotwood Clip Battens carry a powder coat warranty to AS 3715, and the term depends on the finish you specify. Woodgrain finishes use Interpon D STF and carry up to 15 years. Standard colours carry 10 years on Interpon D1000, or 25 years on Interpon D2525, the ultra-durable coating used on prestigious commercial and high-rise projects. All warranties must be registered to take effect. Full terms and the registration form are on our warranty page.
Knotwood does not publish fixed pricing, because batten systems are quoted on specification. The main variables are the finish, the batten size and shape, the total run and the bracket quantity the spacing calls for. Clip Battens also need the bracket and clip hardware costed alongside the battens themselves. Send us your drawings and we will quote it.
Knotwood Clip-On Aluminium Battens are available in traditional solid powder coated colours and in a sublimated timber grain surface, the same architectural-grade finish range used across Knotwood’s aluminium systems. That means battens can be specified alongside cladding or screens on the same project with a consistent finish. The full range is on our finishes page.
Knotwood Clip Battens do not rot, warp, crack or need recoating. The sublimated timber grain finish is tested to AAMA 2604 for humidity resistance and chemical resistance. Timber battens in equivalent Australian conditions would typically need sanding, oiling or replacement within that period. Backed by a standard 15 year warranty and up to 25 years on selected finishes. See our warranty page for the terms that apply to this profile.
Periodic washing with a soft broom and water, using a pH-neutral detergent, is all that’s required. No painting, sealing or specialist treatments are needed.
Yes. Knotwood provides pre-engineered span tables specific to substrate type and region, along with BIM files, CAD drawings and project costing support for tenders. This documentation is available to architects, specifiers and builders on request, contact your Knotwood representative for the full technical library.
