Composite Battens Installation Info
It’s always best to instruct an experienced, reputable professional when undertaking any work at your property, but composite battens can also be installed by competent DIY enthusiasts.
Prepare the area by clearing the area where the battens will be installed and ensure the surface is level and stable.
Install the support frame - secure vertical or horizontal supports using treated timber or composite posts. For larger projects, ensure proper spacing to accommodate the chosen batten size.
Attach the battens using a pilot hole, and then fixing them to the frame using stainless steel screws, ensuring consistent spacing for a professional finish.
Ensure all fixings are secure and give the battens a quick clean (if required) before enjoying your upgraded outdoor space.
Composite Fence Battens FAQs
What are composite fence battens made of?
Our composite battens are made from a blend of bamboo fibres and polymers, combining the natural look of wood with the strength and low maintenance of composite materials.
How do composite battens compare to timber?
Composite battens offer several advantages over timber, including resistance to rot, warping, and insect damage. They also require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan without the need for regular sealing or painting.
Will the colour of the battens fade over time?
Our composite battens feature built-in UV protection to minimise fading. While there may be a slight natural colour adjustment in the first few months, the battens will maintain their vibrancy for many years.
Do I need to seal or paint the battens?
No sealing, painting, or staining is required. The composite material is designed to withstand the elements and maintain its appearance without additional treatments.
How do I clean and maintain composite battens?
Cleaning is easy—just use a soft brush or cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
