Aluminium ceiling battens and panels offer a few major advantages when used as a ceiling lining:
Lightweight – Aluminium is lightweight, especially when compared to materials like hardwood timber. This makes aluminium battens an excellent choice for false ceilings where weight and loading is a concern.
Aesthetics – Ceiling design has traditionally been an afterthought. Using aluminium battens as a ceiling lining looks fantastic, and our timber look coatings allow you to introduce a touch of natural warmth.
Ease of installation – Modinex supplies aluminium ceiling battens with our simple installation system. This reduces the amount of time it takes to complete each installation.
Durability – Aluminium is an incredibly hard-wearing material. It offers excellent durability, especially when it’s installed in harsh environments, such as seaside properties.
Low maintenance – When installed on a ceiling, our aluminium battens require very little maintenance. Regular cleaning is all that’s required to remove buildups of dust and dirt, returning the finish to its original condition.
Fire resistance – Aluminium battens and panels are uniquely fire resistant. They are the ideal choice for applications with stringent fire regulations.

Aluminium ceiling panels and battens can last for 30+ years when they’re installed in exterior spaces. Aluminium battens that are used indoors can last almost indefinitely.
You can extend the life of aluminium ceiling battens with regular cleaning. This removes any build ups of dust that may damage the coating over time.
Be aware that aluminium is prone to galvanic corrosion when exposed to dissimilar metals (such as steel fasteners). You can prevent galvanic corrosion by following Modinex’s installation instructions and using nylon washers and fluoropolymer coatings to isolate dissimilar metals from one another.
