Woodgrain Aluminium Battens
Timber-look aluminium battens for screens, ceilings, facades and feature walls - crisp shadow lines and warm grain that hold their shape and colour for decades.
Woodgrain Aluminium Battens
Woodonali aluminium battens deliver the rhythmic, linear timber look that defines so much contemporary Australian architecture, without the movement and maintenance of real wood. Each batten is an extruded aluminium section finished in a sublimated woodgrain, so it stays straight, holds its colour and never needs re-oiling.
Battens are used for privacy screening, breezeways, ceiling and soffit linings, facade blades and feature walls. With a range of sizes and spacings, they let you tune privacy, airflow and shadow to suit the orientation and climate of the project.

Why choose Woodgrain Aluminium Battens
Stays perfectly straight
Extruded aluminium will not bow, twist or cup the way timber battens do once they are exposed to sun and rain.
Consistent shadow lines
Uniform sections and accurate spacing give you the clean, repeating lines that make a batten screen look architect-designed.
Privacy with airflow
Adjust batten width and gap to balance privacy and cross-ventilation - ideal for Australian outdoor living.
Non-combustible substrate
Aluminium battens suit bushfire-prone settings and buildings with combustibility requirements.
Lightweight spans
Lighter sections span further with fewer supports, simplifying screens, pergolas and ceilings.
Maintenance-free finish
No annual oiling. The baked woodgrain finish just needs an occasional wash.
Where it is used
- Privacy screens and fencing infill
- Ceiling and soffit linings
- Facade blades and sun screening

Common questions
- What batten spacing should I use for privacy?
- Closer spacing gives more privacy and shade; wider spacing lets more light and breeze through. We can help you model the right gap for your aspect and sightlines.
- Can battens be used on ceilings and soffits?
- Yes. Lightweight aluminium battens are popular for eaves, alfresco ceilings and feature soffits because they will not sag or rot in the weather.
- Will the battens fade in the Australian sun?
- The sublimated finish is engineered for UV stability, so the woodgrain holds its colour far longer than oiled or stained timber.
- Are battens available for bushfire areas?
- The aluminium substrate is non-combustible. We can discuss detailing for your BAL requirements.
