Spans
As a natural material, timber expands and contracts due to moisture levels in its environment. Screening applications are particularly vulnerable to movement, with the small number of fixings holding the timber in place.
In order to account for the inevitable movement of timber, we recommend the following maximum spans between fixings for interior timber screens to keep the batten straight. Greater spans can be achieved to meet project-specific requirements, contact us to discuss with one of our project consultants.
When calculating the required fixings for a screen, the top and bottom tracks, along with the mid-support rod (see below) are suitable fixings.
Spans between fixings
Species | Timber Batten Size | |||||
30x60mm | 30x88mm | 30x138mm | 40x60mm | 40x88mm | 40x138mm | |
Spotted Gum | 1.5m | 1.5m | N/A | 1.5m | 1.5m | N/A |
Australian Ash | 3.0m | 3.0m | 3.0m | 3.0m | 3.0m | 3.0m |
American Oak | 1.5m | 1.5m | N/A | 1.5m | 1.5m | N/A |
N/A = Species and size combination not available
Mid-support Rod System
For applications which require a large distance between fixings, a threaded rod and spacers can be used as an extra fixing point. The rod runs through pre-drilled holes and uses spacer sleeves to help prevent movement and keep the battens straight. This extra fixing is provided by Sculptform and included in all pricing for screens.
When calculating the span between fixings with the tables above, please note the rod is included as a fixing.
Minimum / Maximum Spacing
As our Free Standing Timber Screens come with tenons pre-fixed to the top and bottom mounting tracks, spacing must be determined before they are manufactured. The minimum spacing possible between the battens is 25mm, and there is no maximum spacing requirement.
BIM/CAD Files
CAD files are available below for our timber free-standing screens in both DWG and PDF format.
Suitable Applications
Our timber free standing screen system is available for interior applications only. For exterior applications, our aluminium screens offer a timber-look alternative. Contact us here to discuss the requirements of your project.
Batten Lengths
Each species of timber has a maximum length available, as the particular tree only grows to a certain size. These lengths set the maximum height achievable with a timber screen. For applications requiring longer lengths, our aluminium range is a better option, with up to 6m lengths available.
Species | Maximum Lengths |
---|---|
Spotted Gum | 3.6m |
Australian Ash | 4.2m |
American Oak | 3.6m |
Batten Weights
Species | Density |
---|---|
Spotted Gum | 990kg/m³ |
Australian Ash | 660kg/m³ |
American Oak | 705kg/m³ |

Fire Compliance
Group Rating
All untreated timber achieves a Group 3 rating according to the requirements of AS/NZS 3837-1998 and AS 5637.1-2015 for use as wall and ceiling linings, as per NCC 2019 (Volume 1).

Timber Species – AS/NZS 3837-1998
Combustibility
Timber is deemed combustible under AS 1530.1-1994.
If your project requires a non-combustible material please refer to our aluminium range.
BAL Rating
Each timber species achieves different BAL ratings according to AS 3959-2009 as outlined below –
Timber Species | Bal Rating |
---|---|
Spotted Gum | 29 |
Australian Ash | Not tested |
American Oak | Not tested |
Maintenance
Interior timber typically does not require maintenance. It is important to regularly check timber which is exposed to UV radiation through windows etc, as this can lead to yellowing of the coating. Re-coating may be required.
