Project Introduction
May 2024, an Australian customer approached us seeking a timber-look facade for a beach house.
They faced critical dilemmas:
●Needing authentic wood aesthetics but fearing decay and termites in humid climates
●Balancing budget constraints with long-term maintenance costs
●Tight 5-month deadline requiring rapid customization.
After detailed technical comparisons, we recommended 50x100mm Aluminum Timber-Look Battens, Powder-coated aluminum replicating real wood grain texture, Custom color-matching (Oak Matte) + full production in 3 weeks.

“The effect exceeded expectations. The wood grain finish makes the building look more upscale. Thank you very much for your professionalism and patience in providing us with customized solutions.”
