Are battens horizontal or vertical?

Table of Contents

Battens can be installed both horizontally and vertically, depending on design requirements, functional needs, and aesthetic objectives. Horizontal battens are often used for weather-resistant cladding or to emphasize visual width, while vertical installations may enhance structural rigidity, interior spatial perception, or modern minimalist styles.

At Xtra Metal Group, our engineering team tailors batten orientation (and material selection, e.g., aluminum, zinc, or copper) to optimize performance against wind loads, thermal expansion, or acoustic control, ensuring seamless integration with façade systems or interior layouts. With decades of global project experience, we provide precision-engineered solutions adaptable to any architectural vision—horizontal, vertical, or dynamic angular configurations.

As an aluminum ceiling & facade manufacturing engineer, I spent years immersed in design and production for things like exterior walls and ceilings. Seeing the gap between technical specs and practical understanding sparked my desire to share my knowledge clearly and make engineering materials accessible to more people.
