Panel Battens are a fully-backed system: a solid Batten Panel carries brackets that are pre-set at the factory, so the spacing between battens is fixed before anything reaches site. Each panel overlaps the leading edge of the one before it, carrying that spacing across the run, then individual battens press onto the brackets until they click. Four panel sizes cover the range, and the battens themselves come from the same profile range as Clip Battens.
This is the system for large ceiling installations, where a long run of ceiling battens has to hold an identical line across an entire commercial or multi-residential space and any set-out error is visible from every angle beneath it. It also suits large commercial facades needing a consistent finish across wide spans, and soffit runs on larger structures. Primarily a specifier's product, though it works on any project where the run is long enough that setting out by hand stops being sensible.
Panel Battens share the same 6063 T6 aluminium construction and architectural-grade finishes as the rest of Knotwood's batten range, backed by a 15 year limited warranty on the finish. The solid backing panel keeps the profile line consistent over long runs where an open-back system depends on the accuracy of the set-out behind it, and the overlapping panel design also covers minor imperfections in the substrate rather than telegraphing them through the finished surface.
Four panel sizes across the 25mm and 50mm suites, compatible with the same broad batten profile range as Clip Battens, plus a dedicated starter profile and a 50mm corner angle to begin or turn a run cleanly.
The Batten Panel fixes to the substructure first, its overlapping brackets already spaced and ready, then each batten presses onto its bracket until it clicks into place, concealing the fixing point entirely behind the batten face for a clean, seamless run.
Where batten ends are exposed, purpose-designed end caps finish the run. They can be knocked into position for a clean push-fit, or fixed in place with screws if the project calls for it.
To turn a corner, fix the 50mm angle in place of the Batten Panel Starter. The angle takes the same overlap as a starter, so the first Batten Panel carries its consistent spacing and finish straight around the turn.
Vary batten spacing to create distinctive visual effects.
Combine different shapes and sizes to craft a unique look.
Mix or match different colours for the battens and board.
Panel battens are Knotwood’s fully-backed aluminium batten system, made up of four panel sizes. Each Batten Panel fixes to the substructure and overlaps the leading edge of the one before it, its built-in brackets automatically locking in even spacing, then individual battens press onto those brackets until they click into place, covering the whole run with a consistent finish.
Two things. The brackets are built into a solid backing panel rather than fixed individually, so batten spacing is set at the factory instead of measured out on site. And the panel itself forms a continuous backing behind the battens, where an open-back system leaves the substrate visible between them.
You do not have to. Every Batten Panel’s brackets are pre-set at the factory, and each panel overlaps the one before it, so the spacing locks in automatically and identically as the run goes up.
Yes, and it is what the system is best at. A long ceiling batten run is where set-out error shows most, because the whole surface is read at once from below and there is nothing to break the line. Pre-set bracket spacing removes the measuring from the job, so the last panel matches the first.
Yes. Knotwood provides profile weights, combined weights per linear metre and square metre weights for all four panel types, which is what you need for sizing garage door motors or checking loads on other applications.
Yes, on new build and retrofit alike, installing over top hat section, metal hollow sections or timber substructures. The overlapping panel design also helps conceal minor imperfections in an existing substrate rather than telegraphing them through the finish.
They can be used on large residential spans, but the system is built for commercial scale. For a typical residential batten run, clip battens or flip battens are usually the more practical fit.
All three share the same aluminium construction and architectural-grade finishes. Panel battens use a solid overlapping backing panel with pre-set brackets, which is what makes them work over long spans. Clip battens use an individually fixed bracket-and-clip method for a seamless single-finish look. Track battens use a track-and-clip system built for installation speed and precise spacing.
A 15 year limited performance warranty on the finish. The sublimated timber grain coating is tested to AAMA 2604 for colour retention, humidity resistance and chemical resistance. No recoating or resealing is required, and the aluminium will not rot, warp or rust.
Periodic washing with a soft brush and water, using a pH neutral detergent. No painting, sealing or specialist treatments.
Panel battens are 6063 T6 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.
