Clip aluminium battens fix to a wall or ceiling using a concealed bracket-and-clip system rather than face-fixing through the batten. The bracket is fixed to the substrate, the batten presses onto it and locks, and every fixing point ends up behind the batten face. It is built for projects where the batten itself is meant to be the focus, not the hardware holding it in place.
Clip Battens suit facades and feature walls wanting an uninterrupted, seamless finish, architectural screens where a clean, considered look matters, and ceiling batten runs that need a smooth, consistent appearance from below. Anywhere the batten finish is doing the visual work and a line of fixing heads would undo it.
Concealed fixing is not only a visual decision. With the clip sitting behind the batten face and out of direct weather exposure, the fixing point is far less exposed to moisture than a face-fixed screw, which matters on coastal and high-humidity sites where the fixing is usually the first thing to fail. Aluminium doesn't rust or rot the way steel and timber fixing systems do, and the finish is backed by a 15 year limited warranty.
Over 20 shapes and sizes across the 25mm and 50mm suites. Adjustable batten spacers set the gap between battens from 25mm up to 40mm on the 25mm suite, or up to 50mm on the 50mm suite, and battens can be installed at 0, 45, 90 and 135 degrees.
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, and matching aluminium end caps are available for every batten shape and size.
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 battens are an aluminium batten system that fixes to a wall or ceiling using a concealed two-part bracket-and-clip method. Rather than face-fixing each batten with visible fasteners, the bracket is fixed to the substrate first and the batten presses onto it until it locks, concealing every fixing point behind the batten face. The result is a clean, uninterrupted run with no hardware visible from the front.
The Batten Bracket is fixed to the substrate, then the batten presses onto the bracket until it clicks into place, so the fixing point sits entirely behind the batten face. Because no screw or bolt penetrates the visible surface, the finished run shows only the batten profile, with no fastener holes, heads or caps interrupting it.
Clip battens suit any application where the batten finish is the visual focus and visible fixings would detract from it: facades and feature walls requiring a seamless look, architectural screens, and ceiling batten runs where a smooth, consistent appearance matters from below. They are used across residential and commercial projects in the UK.
Yes. Batten spacing is adjustable using batten spacers, from 25mm up to 40mm on the 25mm suite, or up to 50mm on the 50mm suite. Battens can also be installed at 0, 45, 90 and 135 degrees, so the same components cover a flat run, an angled blade screen or a directional facade detail.
The concealed clip position keeps the fixing point out of direct weather exposure, which reduces moisture ingress at the fixing over time. That matters on the coast, where a face-fixed screw is usually the first part of a batten run to fail. The aluminium construction carries none of the corrosion or rot risk of steel or timber fixing systems, and stainless steel fasteners in 304 or 316 grade suit exposed conditions, with 316 specified where salt exposure is a factor.
Knotwood clip battens will not rot, warp, crack or need recoating. A timber batten run in the same position needs periodic refinishing, and the exposed end grain and fixing points are where it fails first. The sublimated timber grain finish is backed by a 15 year limited warranty, and the maintenance is a wash down rather than a recoat.
All three share the same aluminium construction and architectural-grade finishes. The difference is the fixing method and the design intent. Clip battens prioritise a seamless, no-visible-fastener finish. Flip battens allow each batten to be flipped to reveal a second colour for a two-tone effect. Panel battens are engineered for larger-span applications such as wide commercial facades and expansive ceiling runs.
Yes. The clip fixing system suits both. On walls it delivers a seamless facade or feature wall finish, and on ceilings it produces a consistent, smooth batten run with nothing visible from below.
Periodic washing with a soft brush and water, using a pH neutral detergent, is all that is needed. No painting, sealing or specialist treatments.
Yes. Knotwood provides pre-engineered span tables, BIM files, CAD drawings and project costing support for tenders. Contact Knotwood for span tables specific to your substrate type.
Clip battens are extruded aluminium, classified A2-s1,d0 to BS EN 13501-1. Under Approved Document B, A2-s1,d0 is a material of limited combustibility, which is the classification required for external wall construction on relevant buildings under Regulation 7(2). Because compliance is assessed on the whole external wall build-up rather than the battens alone, send us the building height and the wall construction and we will provide the classification report reference for your specification.
