In architectural and engineering contexts, the correct term is batten. “Baton” is a French-derived term often misinterpreted in informal usage, whereas “batten” refers specifically to the narrow metal or wooden strips used for structural support, cladding, or aesthetic detailing.
At Xtra Metal Group, our precision-engineered battens undergo rigorous quality control to ensure dimensional accuracy and performance, whether applied to exterior façades, ceiling systems, or custom architectural features. With 30+ years of global project expertise, we tailor battens to meet exact material specifications (e.g., alloy grades, coatings) and load/design requirements while maintaining seamless integration with other building components. Clarity in terminology ensures technical alignment across projects.
