A truss is a structural framework of triangular units designed to span large distances and bear heavy loads, typically used in roofs, bridges, or towers. It distributes forces through axial members (chords, webs).
A batten, however, is a narrow strip or molding that provides secondary support, surface fixing, or aesthetic alignment. Commonly made of metal, wood, or composites, battens secure cladding, roofing, or ceiling systems while enhancing weather resistance and design cohesion.
At Xtra Metal Group, we specialize in precision – engineered battens tailored for façades, interiors, and roofing. Our solutions integrate advanced materials and rigorous testing, ensuring durability and design flexibility, honed through 30+ years of global project expertise in architecture and engineering.
