“Board and batten” refers to a cladding system combining wide vertical boards (the board) with narrow strips (battens) that cover joints, creating a textured, linear aesthetic. In contrast, batten alone refers to slender metal or wood strips used independently as structural supports, trim, or decorative accents. While battens are versatile modular elements, board and batten is a distinct architectural style emphasizing durability and visual continuity.
At Xtra Metal Group, we engineer battens with precision for load – bearing or decorative roles, and offer full customization in materials (e.g., aluminum, steel), finishes, and profiles. Our global expertise ensures solutions tailored to both structural integrity and design intent, from commercial façades to high – end residential projects.
