Vertical and horizontal blades do more than look good - they shade glass and shape light. Here is how aluminium battens work as sun screening.
Shade where you need it
Batten blades over windows and glazing cut direct sun and glare while keeping the view and daylight. Orienting and spacing the blades to the sun's path lets you block harsh angles and admit softer light.
Architectural rhythm
Beyond performance, blades give a facade depth, rhythm and shadow that flat cladding cannot. They are a favourite device for turning a plain elevation into something sculptural.
Light and strong
Aluminium battens span well with minimal support, so blades can run tall or wide without heavy framing - and they will not bow or twist in the sun like timber.
Coordinate with the build
Blades work best when planned with the glazing and structure. The same finish can tie them to your cladding and screens for a unified look.
