Free Standing Screens | Sculptform

Traditionally screens have been difficult to integrate into a project without the use of unsightly fixings to combat the natural movement of the battens. We are experts in working with timber, which means that we understand how to use our proprietary systems to best account for this movement.

With this in mind, we have adapted our popular batten system to allow for beautiful timber and aluminium screens which prevent unwanted movement and robust fixings.

How it works

The fixing method for our screens is simple. The click-on connection features a button fixed to the top and ends of the batten which clicks securely into engagement in the supplied tracks.

Site variation and building and thermal movement are factored into the design, with the top bracket fixed into place and lower brackets able to slide. For larger spans, a mid support rod is available as an extra fixing.

Available Profiles

We offer a range of profiles in either timber or aluminium to meet the required design intent. We love a challenge, so if you have a project-specific profile in mind, contact us to speak to one of our passionate consultants.

A range of species, coating and finishing options are available for both timber or aluminium. If a Group 1 fire rating is required, any aluminium finish is acceptable.

Timber and Aluminium Batten Spans

Timber offers a warm, natural aesthetic but, as a living material, it expands and contracts with changes in moisture. Screening applications can be more prone to movement due to the limited number of fixings. Using larger timber battens can reduce this movement and minimise the number of fixings required.

For screens requiring greater lengths and spans, our Real Timber Veneer or Wood Finish Aluminium Battens provide an ideal alternative. These wrapped aluminium options allow for lengths up to 6.2 metres and spans of up to 6 metres between fixings, enabling faster installation and large-scale designs.

Lengths Available

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 wrapped aluminium range is a better option, with up to 6m lengths available.

The aluminum Click-on Screens, particularly the wood textures, are unparalleled on the market. The ability to use natural timber and aluminum battens interchangeably, with a near-perfect match in wood species and grain, provides a level of design flexibility and aesthetic cohesion that we have not found elsewhere.
