Battenclad™ is Barwon Timber’s unique vertical cladding system, designed by our timber mill to create a bold, multi-dimensional batten design. Featuring a precision-machined profile with a distinctive 20mm centre groove and a matching 20mm shiplap join, Battenclad achieves the architectural appearance of individually fixed timber battens without the labor-intensive installation.

Engineered exclusively for vertical applications, this continuous shadow-line system creates striking vertical lines that elevate modern facades, feature walls, and high-end residential or commercial designs.

Manufactured from premium Victorian Silvertop Ash, this cladding profile combines exceptional dimensional stability with the authentic, rugged charm of the Australian bushland. Silvertop Ash is a highly resilient native hardwood celebrated for its excellent value and robust performance, holding a Class 2 above-ground durability rating that ensures long-lasting defense against the elements. It is also one of the select native species naturally approved for use in bushfire-prone regions, providing crucial fire resistance up to a BAL-29 rating. Featuring a clean, sophisticated palette of pale blonde, warm straw, and light brown tones, the timber is beautifully accented by distinct growth rings, natural gum veins, and subtle pencil streaks. This unique, organic personality delivers a modern architectural aesthetic that can either be sealed to preserve its warm tones or left to weather gracefully into a sleek, silver-grey finish.

Barwon Timber also offers a selection of complementary timber and aluminium stops to complete the cladding system.
