A lath is a thin, narrow strip (traditionally wood or metal) used as a load-bearing substrate to support plaster, stucco, or roofing materials. Its primary function is structural reinforcement. A batten, however, is broader and thicker, designed for functional and aesthetic purposes: sealing joints, securing panels (e.g., siding or cladding), or creating visual patterns. Battens often remain exposed and require precise engineering for weatherproofing and longevity.
At Xtra Metal Group, we specialize in high-performance battens tailored to complex architectural designs, leveraging 30+ years of expertise in material optimization and global project execution. Our solutions prioritize seamless integration, durability, and custom profiles to meet exact project demands.
