Striking metallic facade
A dark bronze anodised finish is seen on the many Click-on Battens covering the exterior of the first floor of the home. This dark coloured aluminium facade sets a rich contrast with the white rendering and paving below, and enhances the green foliage of the surrounding landscape.
The Click-on Battens were chosen to have a block profile (squared) which creates an attractive pattern when they are lined up next to each other. Creating shadows and texture to an area that, when done well, can make an immense difference in the curbside appeal of a house.

Wise choice of material
As well as featuring externally, the Click-on Battens also feature internally, along the walls of narrow areas and throughout windows. Light streaming in from the windows shines between the battens, enhancing their shape and highlighting the metallic anodised finish.
Choosing aluminium for within an interior (and exterior) is a wise choice if maintenance is something you want to avoid. Anodised finishes require absolutely no maintenance, are easy to install and withstand the test of time and any harsh weather conditions thrown their way.
