Timber Batten Ceilings
Transform Interiors with Modular Timber Ceilings
Timber batten ceilings bring natural warmth, rhythm, and architectural clarity to any interior. Sculptform’s Click-on Batten system gives designers total control over patterns, spacing, profiles, and geometry, making it easy to achieve everything from refined linear ceilings to bold sculptural forms.
Whether you’re creating a simple timber-lined corridor, a sweeping curved feature, or a highly detailed workplace ceiling with integrated services, our modular system turns complex ideas into precise, buildable solutions.
Why Timber Batten Ceilings?
Timber battens offer a timeless way to enrich interiors, providing:
- Natural warmth and materiality
- Strong architectural lines
- Endless opportunities for pattern-making
- Acoustic comfort when paired with backing
- Compatibility with lighting, HVAC, and services
- Suitability across workplace, education, retail, hospitality, and cultural spaces
Every batten profile, spacing arrangement, and configuration contributes to the overall identity of the ceiling, and Sculptform is built to give designers that freedom.
Design Possibilities
Limitless patterns and configurations
Our system supports virtually any design expression, including:
- Linear or staggered layouts
- Randomised or rhythmic patterns
- Angled, diagonal, or geometric arrangements
- Mixed profiles and alternating colours
- Curved, raked, or transitioning ceiling planes
If you can sketch it, we can help you make it buildable.

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.

In our opinion, Sculptform’s products are the best on the market. We’ve worked with many other systems, but Sculptform stands out for its quality, reliability, and ease of installation. Their click-on system is phenomenal - there’s nothing else out there like it. We never have issues, and we never get callbacks.
