Batten facades are sweeping the nation, cementing their place as Australia’s must-have architectural feature. Their contemporary straight lines are being affixed across residential frontages and incorporated into commercial exteriors. When it comes to design flexibility and complete customization, DecoBatten® timber-look aluminium battens by DECO are revolutionizing the way architects and designers incorporate battens into projects: from walls and garage doors to ceilings and multi-storey facades.

Austruss’ managing director, Andrew Fowler, said, “At the same time as concrete slabs were…
