Find answers to some of the most common questions for our Aluminium Battens and Cladding. If you have another question that is not here then please contact us.
Battens, claddings and trims are available in standard 6500mm lengths, however the available usable length is 6450mm, due to the production process.
It is therefore necessary to check both ends of the batten prior to installation. There may be a hole and/or some colour variations of up to 50mm on one end. This is to be removed prior to installing.
All profiles can be cut to size on site or Alteria can fully customise and cut profiles to your exact sizes to suit your project requirements. See page 11 for further cutting information.
