With clean lines and sharp detailing, they bring visual impact while meeting essential compliance requirements. That makes them a reliable choice for everything from public spaces and commercial fit-outs to residential builds.
Thanks to a wide range of profiles, sizes and finishes, aluminium battens can be shaped to match almost any design intent. Want sleek, vertical lines? Prefer a natural timber look without the upkeep? These systems can do both — and more. Their durability and flexibility make them a favourite for creating crisp, modern textures without the limitations of raw materials.
Inside or out, aluminium battens offer the best of both worlds: creative freedom backed by dependable performance.

Aluminium Batten System
Our aluminium Click-on Battens are built for efficiency from every angle. Fast to install. Simple to handle. Safer on site. Their lightweight design makes light work of even large-scale walls and ceilings — no heavy lifting, no wasted time.
With lengths up to 6 metres, you get clean lines with fewer joins. This results in a smooth, continuous finish that looks effortless and performs flawlessly.
Crucially, these battens are non-combustible, meeting stringent fire performance standards to support safety-critical environments. For architects and specifiers working on code-compliant buildings, this makes aluminium batten cladding a practical yet design-led choice.
The aluminium batten system from Sculptform integrates functionality with design adaptability. Whether you’re using vertical aluminium battens for a striking elevation or creating subtle ceiling detail, the result is always refined and robust.
Choosing between the two depends on the project context:
Feature | Wood Look Aluminium Battens | Real Timber Veneer |
UV Stability | Excellent | Moderate |
Timber Authenticity | High visual match | True timber surface |
Maintenance | Low | Moderate |
Exterior Suitability | Yes | No |
If you’re weighing the timber look aluminium battens cost against real timber options, consider lifecycle value. Aluminium options tend to offer greater long-term durability with minimal upkeep — making them ideal for exposed or difficult-to-access locations.
