What are aluminium battens used for?
Aluminium battens like Alu Batten are used for architectural facade systems, external and internal wall features, screening elements, and contemporary cladding designs.
What are the benefits of aluminium batten cladding?
Aluminium batten cladding delivers long-lasting performance, corrosion and UV resistance, low maintenance, and design flexibility compared to traditional materials
Can aluminium battens be used externally?
Yes. Aluminium battens are ideal for external applications, even in harsh climate conditions, because they are corrosion-resistant and sea-salt and spray tested.
How long do aluminium battens last?
With proper installation and coating finishes, aluminium battens can last for decades with minimal maintenance, outperforming timber and other traditional materials in durability.
Are aluminium battens low maintenance?
Yes. Aluminium battens require very little upkeep — regular cleaning is typically sufficient to maintain their finish and performance over the long term.
What finishes are available for aluminium battens?

Can aluminium batten cladding be installed vertically and horizontally?
Yes. Aluminium battens are designed to be installed both horizontally and vertically, enabling creative application and architectural expression.
Is aluminium batten cladding fire-resistant?
Aluminium battens are non-combustible and meet fire-safety standards, making them suitable for use in projects requiring high fire performance.
Can aluminium battens be recycled?
Absolutely. Aluminium is a highly recyclable material, meaning aluminium batten systems can contribute to sustainability goals at the end of their useful life.
Does aluminium batten cladding resist coastal corrosion?
Yes. Aluminium battens are sea-salt and spray tested, making them suitable for coastal environments where corrosion resistance is critical.
How do I install aluminium battens?
Aluminium battens are typically installed with concealed fixing systems for a refined finish. Refer to the installation guide for profile-specific instructions.
Are aluminium battens suitable for interior use?
Yes. Aluminium batten profiles can be used indoors for feature walls, ceilings, and decorative screening because they offer a lightweight and visually appealing solution.
Do aluminium battens need special tools to cut or shape?
Aluminium battens can be cut and shaped with standard metalworking tools appropriate for aluminium, making them easy to customise on-site.
What makes aluminium batten cladding different from timber battens?
Aluminium batten cladding doesn’t warp, rot, or require regular sealing like timber. It offers longer durability and lower maintenance in many environments.
