Aluminium Track Battens

Features

Overview

Track Battens fix the alignment before anything visible goes up. A continuous Batten Track goes onto the substructure first, Batten Track Clips slide along it and lock at the spacing you want, then each batten presses onto its clips until it clicks. Because the track sets the reference, spacing is a result of the method rather than something an installer measures at every fixing point.

FAQs

What are track battens?

Track battens are an aluminium batten system that uses a track-and-clip fixing method. A continuous track fixes to the substrate first, establishing the alignment for the full run, then Batten Track Clips lock onto the track at the spacing required and individual battens press onto the clips until they click. It is designed to make ceiling and wall batten installations faster and more precisely aligned.

How does the track-and-clip fixing system work?

The track is secured to the wall or ceiling substrate first, creating a continuous alignment guide. Clips then slide along the track and lock at the spacing you want, and each batten presses onto its clips. Because the alignment reference is set before any batten is placed, consistent spacing is a result of the process rather than something each installer manages across the run.

Can track battens be fitted to an existing suspended ceiling grid?

Yes, and it is the only Knotwood batten system that can. A dedicated suspended track integrates with a proprietary ceiling grid through its top cross rail and locking key. Cut the track to suit the grid length, secure it, slide the clips on and position them, then press the battens into place. On a commercial fit-out with a grid already installed, that removes the need to strip it out or build a separate substructure.

Can track battens be installed at an angle?

Yes. Battens can be set on an angle rather than square to the track, which turns a flat wall into a surface that changes as you move past it. The same track and clips are used either way, so an angled run is a design decision rather than a different product.

How do track battens improve installation speed?

Fixing the track sets the alignment of the whole run in one step. Battens then clip in sequentially against that fixed reference, so nobody measures and adjusts each batten individually. On a long ceiling or wall run that removes most of the on-site adjustment and keeps the result consistent from the first batten to the last.

What can the direct-mount track be fixed to?

Top hat section, metal hollow section, timber, masonry and concrete are all suitable substrates. Engineering specifications for fixing spans are available by substructure material.

Are track battens suitable for interior wall and ceiling battens?

Yes, that is the system’s primary application. Interior walls and ceilings are where alignment is read most closely, because the surface is seen from short range and under even light, and where installation programme tends to be tightest.

How do track battens compare with clip battens and panel battens?

All three share the same aluminium construction and architectural-grade finishes. Track battens set the alignment with a continuous track before any batten is placed, and are the only system that mounts to a suspended ceiling grid or sets battens on an angle. Clip battens use individually fixed brackets for a seamless facade or screen finish. Panel battens use a solid backing panel with factory-set bracket spacing for large-span facades and ceilings.

How do I maintain track battens?

Periodic washing with a soft brush and water, using a pH neutral detergent. No painting, sealing or specialist treatments.

What is the reaction to fire classification of track battens?

Track 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. Wall and ceiling linings carry their own reaction to fire provisions, stricter in circulation spaces and escape routes than in a general room, so contact our team with the building type and the space the battens are going into and we will provide the classification report reference for your specification.
