Ironbark Battens

Why Choose Ironbark Battens?

Ironbark battens are typically reddish-brown with a distinctive grain pattern. Used as battens or screening, this timber species adds warmth and character to any building or outdoor area.

You can count on ironbark battens standing the test of time. Ironbark is known in particular for its strength and durability.
It has a high tensile strength, making it ideal for structures and applications that need to be resilient. Its natural resistance to decay, termites, and fire make it ideal for outdoor applications where there is exposure to the elements.

From a sustainability perspective that’s also a plus – because your ironbark battens really are made to last.

Consider ironbark battens to create a stylish and functional privacy screen for outdoor areas such as decks, patios and balconies. They provide an attractive barrier while still allowing for natural light and air flow.

They’re also great for a stylish cladding on a building’s exterior or as an attractive and striking fence material.

Ironbark 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.
