Application

Our system is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of applications.

Description

The modular system uses mounting rails with clips at pre-determined spacings to fix the aluminium battens in place. The battens use a simple push-fit connection to engage with the clips, resulting in fast installation and completely concealed fixings.

Our Click-on Batten system allows you to specify a combination of our profiles, finishes and any spacing required to create a look unique to your project.

Use our online Price & Spec tool to quickly specify projects, using the simple drag and drop interface to create your design. Price and specification data is generated in real-time, then easily exported in PDF format.

Curved walls are simple with the Click-on Batten system due to the specially designed curving mounting track. Depending on the width of the batten used, different minimum radii can be achieved

Acoustic infills

Acoustic backing panels.

Manufacturer guidance

Acoustic backing panels can be incorporated into the system to not only be a great acoustic solution but also replaces the need to plaster and paint a wall or ceiling behind the battens, saving time and money.  Acoustic panels may require back kerfing or skiving to be more formable around the curved surface.

Direct fix frame

-

Manufacturer guidance

When battens are required to be fixed individually without a mounting track, this direct fix clip allows this versatility by directly screwing to the substrate. The mounting track rigidity relies on the framework behind it. This is custom designed and project dependant. 

Swivel return

Our Swivel Clip can be used to fix battens at any desired angle.
