Click-on Battens - steam bent
Verified by manufacturer over a year ago
Proprietary Click-on Battens steam bent to a variety of radii, allowing for curved transitions around surfaces such as bulk-heads or wall to ceiling.
Application
Interior only. Our curved timber system is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of applications such as transitions between walls and ceilings, or impressive bulkheads.
Description
Our curved timber integration into our Timber Click-on Batten system combines simple, fast installation with either of our curving options – Steam Bending and Kerfing.
Timber profiles are moulded in our Australian factory with a specially designed groove in the back which serves as the interface between the batten and our patented clip connections. These clips are provided pre-fixed to mounting tracks, which are quickly installed on-site before the battens are clicked into place.
Suitable for interiors only our process takes the traditional art of steam bending timber and applies it on a larger commercial scale. Through a process of steaming and heating, the timber can be formed to the required shape without resistance. After the timber is held in place for the cooling period, it maintains the curved timber form.
Our curved timber manufacturing methods allow designers to create large scale curves in the beauty of natural timber. Seamless transitions between planes such as a wall and ceiling provide a unique handcrafted aesthetic on a commercial scale.
