Timber and metal battens differ in material properties, durability, and application suitability. Timber battens offer natural aesthetics and acoustic warmth but require regular maintenance (sealing, pest/rot prevention) and have a limited lifespan under harsh weather. Metal battens (e.g., aluminum, steel) excel in structural durability, corrosion resistance (via anodized or powder-coated finishes), and minimal upkeep. They withstand extreme climates, fire, and pests, making them ideal for high-performance projects.
