What is the difference between board and batten and batten?

Table of Contents

Board and battenrefers 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 loadbearing or decorative roles, and offer full customization in materials (hal., aluminum, steel), finishes, and profiles. Our global expertise ensures solutions tailored to both structural integrity and design intent, from commercial façades to highend residential projects.

As an aluminum ceiling & facade manufacturing engineer, I spent years immersed in design and production for things like exterior walls and ceilings. Seeing the gap between technical specs and practical understanding sparked my desire to share my knowledge clearly and make engineering materials accessible to more people.
