Arch-Line aluminium battens from PSP are a third of the weight of steel and 50% lighter than wood, which means there are so many possibilities to use them in contemporary architecture, both on the exterior and interior.

ArchiPro spoke to PSP’s Ashton Lines-Sherwood to learn about the aluminium batten system that gives the look of timber with the performance of aluminium.

The feedback from architects on Archi-Line is they like the versatility of it with different angles/profiles available, amount of colours/wood grain options as well as being able to be used in the interior and on the exterior.
PSP stocks a range of Archi-Line sizes and colours including: 50mm x 25mm, 50mm x 50mm and 50mm x 100mm battens in White Flat, Black Cedar, Iroko and Western Red Cedar. Other colours and size options are available on request.
The sublimation process creates the look of real wood in a range of profile types, colours and size options. The longest length available is 5650mm.
