Battens Systems

Battens are one of the most versatile systems in the Knotwood range, equally at home creating a feature wall indoors, defining a facade outdoors, or forming the basis of an architectural screen. Each profile brings a layered, dimensional look, with shadow lines and rhythm that flat cladding simply can’t replicate, in a material built for UK conditions: non-combustible, corrosion resistant, colour stable and low maintenance, holding its finish through years of sun, rain and daily use.

Timber-look aluminium battens are extruded profiles powder-coated with a wood grain finish, giving a facade, ceiling or feature wall the character of timber without the upkeep it demands. They suit both exterior applications, facades and architectural screens, where timber would need regular treatment, and interior ones, feature walls and ceilings, where the aesthetic is the goal and an aluminium system’s practical demands are the easier trade.

What changes from profile to profile is the fixing method, and that’s where the real versatility comes in: different jobs call for different ways of getting a batten run up cleanly, whether that’s a residential feature wall or a large-scale commercial facade. It’s just as suited to soffits, screening and garage doors that need to match the same look.
