Aluminium Battens

Aluminium battens deliver a smart, high-performance option for contemporary architectural design. They’re tough yet lightweight, non-combustible and built to last — perfect for walls, ceilings, façades and screening in both interior and exterior settings.

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.

Fast, accurate and tested in the field, this solution supports builders and designers alike in delivering high-quality outcomes efficiently.

Aluminium Timber Look Battens

For projects that require the visual warmth of timber with the resilience of aluminium, Sculptform offers both Wood Finish Aluminium and Real Timber Veneer options.

  • Wood Finish Aluminium: Features highly realistic wood grain finishes, designed for long-term UV exposure and ideal for exterior applications. It delivers the natural appeal of wood without the upkeep.
  • Real Timber Veneer: Combines authentic timber surface with aluminium core strength. A thin layer of real timber provides organic texture, supported by the stability of aluminium.

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.

Aluminium Batten Screen

Aluminium batten screens are increasingly used to balance privacy, light filtration and aesthetic refinement. At Sculptform, these systems are available with either powder coated or anodised finishes — each with its own benefits.

  • Powder Coating: Offers a broad colour range and consistent surface finish. It’s cost-effective and ideal for custom tones or vibrant colours.
  • Anodising: Enhances surface hardness and wear resistance. Its metallic sheen and fade resistance make it suitable for high-exposure or prestige applications.

Both finishes provide excellent durability, but project requirements may determine the preferred specification. Whether used in residential balconies or commercial entryways, aluminium batten screens are an elegant way to define space without sacrificing openness.
