Board and Batten

Board and Batten panels provide a timeless design aesthetic for residential and commercial
projects. This profile generates clean lines and patterns and features alternating wide vertical
boards and narrower 2” elevated battens. The ¾” panel depth creates dimensional interest
while keeping trim offsets to a minimum. This profile is mechanically fastened through pre-
punched holes. To achieve the clean look Board and Batten is known for, fasteners are
concealed under the subsequent panel’s batten. Board and Batten panels have the unique
ability to seamlessly blend into various architectural settings. Whether seeking a cozy and
inviting facade or a bold and striking statement, Board and Batten exterior walls remain a
versatile canvas for architectural creativity.

Panel Lengths

To help limit the visual appearance of oil canning, Drexel Metals recommends maximum panel lengths for Board and Batten panels: 

• Maximum Recommended Panel Length: 8′-0″ nominal for 24 gauge steel and .032″ aluminum 

Maximum Panel Length: 30′ for steel and 22′ for aluminum 

Notice: Oil canning is a natural characteristic of metal panels and is not considered a defect or cause for rejection. An oil canning acknowledgment form is required when Board and Batten panels are ordered beyond the recommended lengths. 

Installation

Board and Batten is mechanically fastened through pre-punched holes and fasteners are concealed under the subsequent panel’s batten. When installing in a wall application, the panels must be installed vertically, limiting panel lengths to 30’ for steel and 22’ for aluminum.
