Slatted facades and exterior facade battens
Timbermax slatted facades use individual facade battens, allowing spacing, rhythm and junctions to be tailored to the architecture. TIMBERMAX EXOTIC WPC and TIMBERMAX EXOTIC ALWOOD can be selected according to the desired appearance and technical solution.
Individual exterior facade battens make it possible to resolve corners, windows, reveals and changes in spacing without being constrained by a fixed panel module. Profile, substructure, fixing, spacing and facade proportions are considered together.
LOW SURFACE-MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
WPC and ALWOOD battens do not require the regular repainting associated with timber battens. Routine care depends on exposure, facade orientation and local conditions.
PRECISE SPACING AND DETAILING
Batten spacing can be set to suit the architectural rhythm of the facade. This allows more precise transitions around corners, windows and other junctions.
SYSTEM-BASED FACADE DESIGN
Where a project has acoustic, thermal or specific structural requirements, performance depends on the complete wall and facade build-up. These requirements are assessed on a project-specific basis.
Reference projects show different batten spacings, profiles, shades and solutions around corners and window openings.
Common questions about WPC slatted facades
A slatted facade creates stronger rhythm and depth. With composite systems, profile stability, expansion, the substructure and installation detailing are particularly important.
What is a WPC slatted facade?
A WPC slatted facade uses composite profiles with pronounced three-dimensional geometry to create the appearance of vertical or horizontal slats. It can cover a complete facade or be used as an architectural accent on selected parts of a building.
What is the difference between a slatted and a conventional WPC facade?
The main differences are visual appearance, profile shape and how the finished surface is articulated. Slatted cladding creates deeper shadows and a stronger rhythm, while conventional cladding appears more continuous. Substructure and expansion detailing must always match the specific profile.
Does a WPC slatted facade need regular painting?
Composite WPC profiles are not normally oiled or regularly repainted like timber slats. Maintenance mainly consists of surface cleaning and checking relevant details according to the facade location and exposure.
Where are WPC slatted facades commonly used?
They are suitable for houses, entrances, gables, soffits, garages and selected facade zones where the cladding should create a more pronounced architectural detail while keeping surface maintenance requirements low.

Further information
A slatted facade uses individual facade battens rather than a fixed panel module. Spacing, orientation, substructure and junctions around corners and openings can therefore be tailored to the architecture.
The colour stability of TIMBERMAX EXOTIC WPC profiles is assessed using accelerated UV testing that simulates exterior conditions. The technical documentation records the test method and results; orientation, exposure and maintenance also influence the appearance in use.
