What is the difference between board and batten?

Table of Contents

Board-and-batten is a cladding system combining wide vertical panels (boards) with narrow strips (battens) covering the seams. Boards act as the primary weather-resistant surface, while battens add structural reinforcement, aesthetic depth, and shadow lines. Modern variants may separate these components: boards serve as standalone wall/ceiling finishes, whereas battens function as decorative trims or sun-shading elements.

At Xtra Metal Group, we engineer precision-designed battens in customizable widths (50–300mm), materials (alumínio, zinc, steel), and finishes. Our solutions integrate seamless installation, durability for harsh climates, and design flexibility, honed through decades of global villa and commercial projects. Whether standalone or combined, we deliver tailored performance to match architectural intent.

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.
