Click-on Battens
Sculptform’s Click-on Battens are a versatile, modular, and easy-to-install linear batten system designed to deliver seamless, high-quality finishes across a variety of architectural applications. Whether for walls, ceilings, or curved designs, our system offers a fast and reliable installation process, reducing labour time while maintaining exceptional durability and aesthetics.
Our timber battens and aluminium battens provide architects and designers with complete creative flexibility, allowing for custom batten dimensions, profiles, and finishes. With acoustic backing options, Click-on Battens also enhance sound performance, making them ideal for commercial and residential projects requiring noise control.
How it works
Not your typical off-the-shelf product, our Click-on Batten system is a highly customisable linear batten system designed for fast and seamless installation. The unique patented clip connection ensures secure fixing without visible fasteners, whilst also allowing for flexibility in design.
Key benefits
- Fast installation – Factory-fitted clips come pre-indexed to mounting tracks for on-site efficiency, allowing battens to easily click into place for even quicker installation and reduced costs.
- Design flexibility – Available in timber battens or aluminium battens with various profiles, coatings, and finishes.
- Concealed fixings – A clean, seamless aesthetic with no visible screws or nails.
- Acoustic performance – Available with integrated acoustic backing, acoustic timber battens improve sound performance in interior spaces.
A specially designed groove in the back of the battens allows them to easily snap into pre-installed mounting tracks, creating a solid, structured fit, as seen in our projects.
Unique click-on connection
Many traditional batten systems involve complicated fixings, visible screws, and misalignment issues—not with Sculptform. Our patented Click-on system eliminates these common pain points with an intuitive, push-fit design.
Why choose Click-on Battens?
- Eliminates visible fixings – No nails or screws, ensuring a pristine architectural finish.
- Reduces labour time – Pre-spaced clips make on-site installation faster and more efficient.
- Adapts to complex designs – Suitable for curved timber walls and ceilings and hidden doors.
Durability and performance – High-quality timber and aluminum battens ensure longevity and resilience in various environments.
Solid timber battens in a range of coatings
The texture, warmth, and depth of natural timber battens elevate interior and exterior spaces. Our Click-on Battens come in a variety of species, including American Oak, Grandis, and Spotted Gum, allowing architects to tailor finishes to their design intent.
Why coatings matter
- Enhanced durability – Protective coatings improve weather resistance for exterior applications.
- Low maintenance – Pre-finished surfaces reduce long-term upkeep.
- Achieving a desired colour – Through stains, tints, or pigmented coatings.

Realistic wood finish aluminium battens
For projects requiring a timber aesthetic with fire resistance and minimal maintenance, our Wood Finish aluminium battens are the ideal solution. These wrapped aluminium finishes replicate the warmth of real timber while offering Group 1 and non-combustible fire ratings.
Advantages of wood finish aluminium
- Low-maintenance – No sanding, staining, or refinishing required.
- Fire-resistant – Certified for use in fire-rated applications.
- Weather-resistant – Suitable for exterior applications exposed to UV and moisture.
Create curved timber battens
Sculptform’s curved timber battens enable designers to create seamless, organic shapes while maintaining the structural integrity of a linear batten system. Our steam bending and kerfing techniques allow for large-scale curves. By seamlessly transitioning between walls and ceilings, we achieve smooth, continuous forms that bring a distinctive and refined aesthetic to commercial spaces.

FAQ's
- Can Click-on Battens be used externally?
- Yes, the system and components are made from high durability and low corrosion metals. Batten materials and finishes have different durability ratings so it is important to check that the finish specified is externally rated.
- What is the acoustic NRC of Click-on Battens?
- The NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) of Click on Battens depends on the backing used and what is behind the system. If using the 7mm acoustic backing with a 90mm stud cavity behind, the rating will be around NRC 0.4, but if you put some additional 50mm acoustic batts in the cavity it brings the NRC up to about 0.93. You can calculate the acoustic rating of your specification on our Price & Spec tool.
- How much do Click-on Battens cost?
- As our system is fully customisable, costs can be anywhere between $200m² to $600m² depending on the size, profiles, finish, spacing etc. Typically it would be around $350m². Use our online Price & Spec tool to receive a square meter quote instantly, ensuring you select the ideal timber battens dimensions for your application.
- Do Click-on Battens integrate into a suspended ceiling?
- We have a specific Mounting Track and connector clip designed to integrate into standard suspended ceiling systems.
- Can Click-on Battens be used as a free-standing screen?
- Our Click-on Screens product is a better alternative if the battens are to be viewed from both sides. Using the same principle of a click-on system, it gives you the same fast and easy install that our Click-on Battens provide.
- Are Click-on Battens water-resistant?
- Click-on Battens made from aluminium battens are highly water-resistant, making them suitable for exterior applications. Timber battens require a protective finish to ensure longevity in wet environments.
- Can I customise the spacing between battens?
- Yes. Our Click-on Batten system allows complete flexibility in batten dimensions and spacing, ensuring the perfect alignment for your design intent. Whether you need specific timber battens size for a seamless, uniform look or varied spacing for a more dynamic effect, the system accommodates your vision.
