INSTALLATION GUIDE
One-Piece Batten
Achieve effortless architectural style with the cool, clean and contemporary lines of DecoBatten.
The light-weight aluminium battens replicate the form, feel and appearance of real timber thanks to the Super Durable™ DecoWood finish, offering a dimensionally stable,
long-lasting timber alternative. DecoBatten allows for complete design flexibility and is suitable for a wide range of applications.
DecoBatten Design Options
DecoBatten comes in two easy-to-install systems: the standard One-Piece system and the Two-Piece 'Quick Click' system. Both systems are available in a wide range of shapes
and sizes and allow for multiple installation methods. One-Piece battens are generally used when fixing battens from behind and when fixings can be easily hidden. The Two-Piece
'Quick Click' system has been designed for easier and quicker installations of more difficult applications (walls, ceilings, etc) or where a seamless concealed fixing is desired.

SQUARE HOLLOW DESIGNS RECTANGULAR HOLLOW DESIGNS
DecoBatten One-Piece Battens are available in numerous sizes, please discuss the options with your DECO Representative.
All DecoBatten and accessories are supplied in 6.5m lengths. As part of the manufacturing process, the first 10mm of both ends of the extrusion are taped and not imaged,
therefore each board will need to be trimmed by 15mm on each end to remove the tape and provide a clean finish. After the removal of each end, the useable length is 6.47m.
Please note : The usable length might be vary depending on the chosen finishes; please contact and discuss with your DECO representative for more information.

Preparation
Installation Surface
When installing DecoBatten care should be taken to ensure the installation surface has been prepared adequately to ensure that it is fit for the intended purpose. The surface
should also be clean and flat, and preparations (such as backing colour) should be applied before the installation of DecoBatten products.
Supporting Structure and Fixings
Before installing any DecoBatten products the supporting structure should be assessed to ensure that it is structurally sound and able to support live and dead loads of the
DecoBatten products that are to be installed. When fixing DecoBatten products, it is recommended that they are fixed at minimum 600mm centres when applied to a solid backing
or 450mm centres when applied to framing, however due to the wide variety of installation applications, this may not be required for all applications. DECO recommends that users
contact a certified Engineer to assess the supporting structure and fixings required when installing DecoBatten, especially in high-wind and high-risk areas.
Processing of DecoBatten
WARNING - When processing DecoBatten care should be taken and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment should be worn at all times. Failure to do so risks potential
serious injury, disablement or death. When processing DecoBattens, care should be taken to ensure that the work space is clean and free from dust, sawdust, metal fines and/or
shavings. Processing of the DecoBatten in areas with excessive dust, sawdust, metal fines and/or shavings risks potential damage to the finished surface.
STEP 1 - Apply the Two-Piece Batten Base to the Supporting Structure and Fix as Required
If the batten is to be installed flush to an end surface, ensure at least 3mm of clearance are provided to allow the batten cover to click over the base.
To ensure a straight, consistent and parallel installation, it is strongly recommended that a level is used to position each base.
