Wenge is a dramatic dark timber look - very dark brown to near-black. On woodgrain aluminium battens, that grain is sublimated into a baked architectural powder coat over marine-grade aluminium, so you get the look of Wenge 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.
The darkest in the range. Wenge delivers a dramatic, almost-black timber look for high-contrast contemporary architecture. As woodgrain aluminium battens, it carries that character while staying non-combustible, UV-stable and dimensionally stable - the practical way to keep a Wenge look on a project that has to last.
Where Wenge works best as battens
The Wenge finish suits high-contrast contemporary designs. As battens specifically, it is well placed on:
- Privacy screens and fencing infill
- Ceiling and soffit linings
- Facade blades and sun screening
- Feature walls and entry statements
- Pergolas, breezeways and patios
- Room dividers and commercial fitouts
