Blackbutt Battens

Reasons to Consider Blackbutt Battens and Screening

Blackbutt battens offer a range of unique benefits and applications that set them apart from other timber species.

Benefits of Blackbutt Battens

• Aesthetic appeal: Blackbutt has a distinctive grain pattern and a warm, golden hue that adds character and depth to any building or outdoor area. It can also darken over time, developing a rich patina and enhancing its natural beauty.
• Durability: Blackbutt is a strong and durable hardwood species that is resistant to decay and termites, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
• Sustainability: Blackbutt is a renewable resource that can be harvested sustainably, making it an environmentally friendly choice for builders and homeowners.
• Stability: Blackbutt is known for its stability, which means it is less likely to warp, split or cup, ensuring long-lasting performance and visual appeal.

Where To Use Blackbutt Battens

• Screening: Blackbutt battens can be used to create a beautiful and functional privacy screen for outdoor areas such as decks, balconies, and patios. They provide an attractive barrier while still allowing for natural light and air flow.
• Cladding: Blackbutt battens can be used to create a modern and stylish facade for both residential and commercial buildings. Whether installed vertically or horizontally, blackbutt cladding adds texture, depth, and character to a building’s exterior.
• Fencing: Blackbutt battens have a natural and rustic look, and can be used to create a strong and visually appealing fence that can adds value to any property.

In conclusion, blackbutt battens are a reliable and long-lasting option that makes them a great choice for most building and outdoor projects – whether it’s for screening, cladding or fencing.

Blackbutt Battens Sizes and Gradings

Set lengths listed on our website are nominal only and provided as a general guide. These lengths are not precision-cut and may be slightly longer than stated to allow for on-site trimming and accurate fitting. Variations in length can occur due to standard milling tolerances, and it is the responsibility of the installer to measure and cut to exact size as needed.

All timber battens are supplied as Run of Mill Grade, which includes natural variations and characteristics typical of standard production. If you require select-grade or custom-graded battens, please contact us directly — we're happy to help.
