What is a batten in construction?

Table of Contents

A batten is a narrow strip of metal (or other material) used in construction for structural reinforcement, cladding support, or decorative detailing. It typically secures wall/roof panels, conceals joints, enhances airflow, or creates visual patterns. Battens are critical for moisture control, load distribution, and design flexibility in façades, ceilings, and rainscreen systems.

At Xtra Metal Group, we engineer high-performance battens from corrosion-resistant materials like galvanized steel or aluminum, tailored to project-specific architectural, climatic, and load-bearing requirements. With 30+ years of global expertise, we deliver precision-designed battens that integrate seamlessly into cladding systems, ensuring durability and aesthetic coherence for commercial and 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.
