DECOBATTEN® – CREATING EFFORTLESS CONTEMPORARY DESIGNS

Bring refined lines, texture, and contemporary character to your architectural projects with DecoBatten®, DECO Australia’s leading aluminium batten system.

Designed for architects seeking both creative freedom and practical performance, DecoBatten® provides a versatile suite of profiles, finishes, and installation options that open up new possibilities in façade expression.

At the core of the system is DECO’s patented QuickClick® two-piece design. Batten covers in multiple sizes, shapes, and styles simply click onto the matching base, delivering a clean, concealed-fix aesthetic with rapid installation.

For greater design control, the system also offers single bases and the SpaceBase® – an intelligent multi-batten base that accommodates two or more battens on a single base with perfectly consistent spacing. SpaceBase® eliminates manual set-out, reduces installation time, and creates the option for a fully enclosed cladding system. Bases can be finished in a contrasting colour, a matching tone, or integrated into the overall palette to enhance rhythm, depth, and shadow play.

Designing with Spacing in Mind

Thoughtful batten spacing is essential when designing façades, screens, fencing, and other linear features. DECO Australia has outlined recommended batten spacing options to help architects achieve the ideal balance of aesthetics, ventilation, and privacy – ensuring every batten layout performs as beautifully as it looks.

Durability Built In

Crafted from lower-carbon aluminium, DecoBatten® offers long-term performance for coastal and exposed residential locations. Battens are available in architectural powder coat finishes, including DECO’s premium DecoWood® timber-look series. All coatings are tested and certified to Qualicoat Class 2, ensuring exceptional UV performance, colour retention, and product longevity.

Designed for Creativity

From minimalist linear façades to warm timber-inspired palettes or bold geometric screening, DecoBatten® gives residential architects a versatile toolkit to shape, refine, and differentiate their designs.
