In contemporary high-end architecture, every line, shadow and surface is intentional. The aluminium batten screen has emerged as a defining design feature for luxury homes, multi-residential developments and commercial spaces, offering a refined balance of privacy, light control and sculptural elegance. At Alumac Industries, our precision-crafted batten screens are designed to elevate architectural form while delivering long-term durability, low maintenance performance and premium visual impact.

We believe that smart design is about marrying functionality with style. Our premium aluminium batten screens, also known as louvre screens, are a modern, durable, low-maintenance solution that elevates both residential and commercial spaces.


What Is a Batten Screen?


A batten screen¹ refers to a structure composed of evenly spaced slats, or battens, that form a screen, fence, façade or partition. When crafted from aluminium rather than timber or traditional materials, they offer the same crisp, architectural look but with many more benefits.


Why Choose Aluminium for Your Batten Screen?


Aluminium batten screens deliver a compelling combination of performance and aesthetics:

  • Durability & Weather Resistance: Aluminium is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, and unlike timber, is impervious to termite attack, rot, mould or mildew.
  • Low Maintenance: With a powder-coated durable finish, aluminium battens require minimal upkeep. You won’t need regular painting, staining or surface treatments. Ideal for busy homeowners or commercial properties.
  • Fire Safety: Aluminium is non-combustible, a key advantage over timber in bushfire-prone zones and for meeting relevant building-code fire safety standards.
  • Lightweight & Easy Installation: Aluminium is much lighter than steel, yet remains structurally strong. That makes installation easier and more efficient, whether the screen is attached to walls, posts, fences, or freestanding frames.
  • Design Versatility: Aluminium battens come in a wide variety of profiles, sizes, and powder-coated colours. Whether you want vertical slats for a minimalist façade or horizontal battens for a contemporary fence, the design possibilities are nearly endless.
  • Custom spacing and angles tailored to your design.
  • Horizontal, vertical or diagonal orientation.
  • Cut-to-length extrusions for precision fit and fast installation.
  • Wide range of blade profiles to suit privacy, airflow and shading requirements.
  • In-house powder coating with multi-stage chrome-free pre-treatment.
  • Made for Australian conditions: UV stable, corrosion-resistant, low maintenance.
  • Seamless integration with other architectural metal elements.
  • Match to your window shroud, air conditioner cover or planter box.


Where Aluminium Batten Screens Work Best


Outdoor Privacy & Façades

For patios, courtyards, balconies or garden areas, aluminium batten screens are ideal for creating privacy without sacrificing airflow or natural light. They can also act as architectural façades, adding rhythm and texture that enhance a building’s street presence.

Fences, Gates & Pool Enclosures

Need a sleek, modern fence or pool-area screen? Aluminium battens deliver strength, weather resistance and a clean, contemporary aesthetic, all while avoiding warping, splitting or rotting.

Interior & Feature Walls

Inside, aluminium batten screens can define spaces, create architectural interest or serve as stylish features for walls, balustrades and area dividers.
