Tallowwood Battens

Why Choose Tallowwood Battens?

Tallowwood battens are a fantastic option for anyone looking for a durable, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing timber species.

They’re also a great timber to “grey off”.

Some people purposely don’t oil a timber in order to allow it to look more aged or grey.

It’s a matter of individual preference, and tallowwood works really well if you want to achieve this effect.

Like other timber species, it is strong, durable and stable, and – for many – particularly pleasing on the eye.

Tallowwood’s lighter colour – ranging from pale to a dark yellowy-brown – gives a warm and natural appearance to outdoor spaces.

Tallowwood’s natural color and grain pattern are distinct, making it stand out from other timber species.

Tallowwood 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.
