Aluminium batten from Decorative Imaging

Timber battens are undeniably one of the hottest architectural trends for 2018. A wide range of shapes and sizes are offering endless design solutions, with long vertical or horizontal lines creating contemporary timber features. From facades and walls, to ceilings and even garage doors, the humble timber batten is turning heads across both the residential and commercial sectors.

However, when it comes to selecting which timber batten to use, many will opt for traditional timber not realising there is an alternative product offering a more flexible and durable solution. DecoBatten is an aluminium batten featuring the leading DecoWood woodgrain finish, offering the beauty of natural timber combined with the strength and durability of aluminium.

There are a multitude of benefits for selecting aluminium battens during construction, and with DecoBatten you can enjoy all of them without having to compromise on the natural look of timber. Here are just some of the benefits of choosing DecoBatten.

Light Weight

Unlike wood, aluminium battens are hollow meaning they are light-weight in comparison, especially when comparing to hardwood timbers. This has many benefits from reduced transport fees to ease of handling and quicker installation - which also usually results in reduced costs. The lightweight aluminium profiles also mean challenging designs and high applications can easily be achieved.

Straight, Perfect Lengths

Never worry about a warped piece of timber again! DecoBatten comes in long, straight lengths and, being metal, will never warp or twist like timber. Nor will you have to worry about inconsistent knots or blemishes as the DecoWood technology offers a perfect photo-imaged, woodgrain powder coating finish. All batten sizes come in 6.5 metre lengths, including larger, chunkier profiles which can be hard and expensive to source in real timber.

Hundreds of Sizes & Shapes

There are literally hundreds of aluminium batten extrusions available. No matter your size - from smaller, square 50x50mm battens to larger 300x50mm rectangular shapes, there will be a batten to suit your project.

Concealed Fixings

Don't spoil your project with unsightly screws and fixings. DecoBatten offers a two-piece click system perfect for walls and ceilings. The design allows the back piece to secure to the surface and the finished timber-look batten be clicked into place with not exposed fixings. Extra fixings can be applied with a simple colour-matched pop rivet.

DecoWood - the Super Durable finish

DecoBatten is finished with Super Durable DecoWood - a woodgrain photo image that is sublimated into Class 2 powder coating. The finish comes in 150 different timber grain finishes and is marine grade, UV resistant and will never peel or rub off. Better still, the finish will NEVER need painting or staining like real timber and is virtually maintenance free!
