The Blackbutt woodgrain finish on woodgrain aluminium battens: pale golden-brown with a fine, even grain - the warmth of timber, none of the upkeep.

Blackbutt is a popular light Australian hardwood - pale golden-brown with a fine, even grain. On woodgrain aluminium battens, that grain is sublimated into a baked architectural powder coat over marine-grade aluminium, so you get the look of Blackbutt timber with none of the oiling, warping, splitting or rot.

As battens, this finish reads as repeating linear blades rather than a solid surface - the grain shows on each face while the gaps throw shadow lines and let light and air through, the look that defines so much contemporary screening.

Light, bright and contemporary. Blackbutt's pale honey tone suits modern coastal and Hamptons-style homes and keeps elevations feeling open and airy. As woodgrain aluminium battens, it carries that character while staying non-combustible, UV-stable and dimensionally stable - the practical way to keep a Blackbutt look on a project that has to last.

Where Blackbutt works best as battens

The Blackbutt finish suits light, modern facades, soffits and coastal homes. As battens specifically, it is well placed on:
