Choosing Your Materials for Batten Fencing
Selecting the right material for a batten fence plays a major role in how it performs visually and structurally over time. At Northside Fencing, vertical batten systems are primarily delivered using aluminium and steel-based profiles, which offer strong durability while supporting a wide range of architectural styles.
- Aluminium Batten Fencing: Aluminium remains a leading choice for vertical batten fencing due to its lightweight strength, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. It suits both residential and commercial applications, performs well in exposed environments, and requires minimal ongoing maintenance. With a wide range of powder-coated finishes available, aluminium battens can be adapted to suit modern, coastal, or contemporary builds with ease.
- Steel and Steel-Composite Batten Systems: Where additional rigidity or security is required, steel-based batten systems provide increased structural strength while maintaining the clean vertical batten appearance. These systems are often used in boundary fencing, security applications, and high-traffic areas where long-term performance is a priority.
By choosing batten systems built from aluminium or steel-based materials, property owners gain the visual impact of vertical battens without the ongoing maintenance demands associated with traditional materials, making them a practical and long-lasting fencing solution.
