A batten in steel structures is a linear metal profile used to secure cladding panels (e.g., walls, roofs) to primary framing. It acts as a secondary structural element, transferring wind, live, and dead loads to the main framework while ensuring weather resistance and aesthetic alignment. Typically made of cold-formed steel or aluminum, battens are engineered for rigidity, corrosion resistance, and thermal performance.
Xtra Metal Group offers precision-engineered battens tailored to project-specific loads, spans, and climatic conditions. Our solutions integrate high-grade materials, advanced fabrication techniques (roll-forming, powder coating), and 30+ years of global expertise in complex architectural and commercial projects, ensuring durability and seamless compatibility with our full cladding systems.
