Timberline
Modular timber batten systems that bring rhythm, shadow, and precision to ceilings and walls in interior and semi-exposed environments.
What Is Timberline?
Always Straight.
Always a Statement.
Timberline is a modular timber batten system engineered to introduce order, rhythm, and depth through perfectly aligned linear elements.
By using precision-milled battens and concealed fixing systems, Timberline defines space without enclosing it, creating calm, structured environments through repetition, shadow, and proportion.
It delivers architectural clarity across ceilings and walls, while supporting integrated acoustic comfort and long-term visual consistency.

Applications
Feature Ceilings
Defines ceilings through controlled repetition and alignment. Used where overhead texture, rhythm, and visual order support architectural intent.
Feature Walls
Creates strong linear depth and shadow across vertical surfaces. Applied to key interior walls where proportion and material precision matter.
Semi-Exterior Screens
Functions as a linear screening element in protected outdoor areas. Used to manage light, privacy, and airflow without fully enclosing the space.
Why Timberline Creates Order Without Closing a Space
Modular Rhythm at Any Scale
Creates a consistent, repeatable design language with uniform spacing and shadow play, suitable for both small features and large architectural surfaces.
Always Straight Alignment
Precision-milled profiles and concealed fixing systems maintain perfectly straight, continuous lines, eliminating warping and visual inconsistency over time.
Acoustic & Visual Comfort
Batten rhythm helps diffuse sound and soften echo, while timber surfaces add warmth and visual calm to interior spaces.
Factory-Ready for Clean Installation
Pre-finished battens arrive ready for installation, reducing site work and ensuring immediate visual impact with controlled quality.
Species and Face Options
Accoya
Natural
Premium modified timber for semi-exposed and interior applications requiring maximum stability and durability.
Visual grade: Clean AB
Typical density: ≈ 510 kg/m³
Meranti
Natural
Warm-tone hardwood for interior and protected exterior battens with balanced performance.
Visual grade: Clean AB
Typical density: ≈ 590 kg/m³
Yellow Balau
Natural
Dense hardwood providing a robust visual presence in humid or coastal semi-exposed applications.
Visual grade: Clean AB
Typical density: ≈ 850–950 kg/m³
Spruce
Natural
Requestable.
​Lightweight, cost-effective batten profiles for interior-only applications, suitable for large commercial ceilings or wall features.
Performance Characteristics
Dimensional Stability
high
Kiln-dried and engineered profiles resist warping and twisting, maintaining straight, consistent alignment over time.
Moisture Content
12 – 16%
Conditioned for stability in interior and semi-exposed environments.
Moisture Movement
0.25 – 0.35% per 1% MC change
Standard movement allowance for tropical hardwoods; requires correct spacing and detailing.
Thermal Performance
Low Conductivity
Contributes to stable indoor temperatures and improved acoustic comfort.
Seismic Suitability
high
Lightweight batten systems perform well in seismic zones, especially for ceiling applications.
Acoustic Behaviour
Sound Diffusion
Linear timber battens naturally soften echo and improve acoustic comfort when combined with appropriate backing systems.
Is Timberline Right for Your Project?
Timberline is not decorative strip cladding. It is a precision batten system designed to impose order, rhythm, and clarity.
It is most effective when:
-
visual alignment and straightness are critical
-
ceilings or walls require texture without enclosure
-
acoustic softening is desired through form, not panels
-
modular, repeatable detailing is needed at scale
If your project relies on disciplined geometry, shadow play, and long-term visual consistency, Timberline should be specified early.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question unanswered? Speak to our team.
Can Timberline be used in semi-exterior areas?
Yes, when installed in protected, semi-exposed environments with appropriate species selection and detailing. It is not intended for fully exposed exterior conditions.
Does Timberline support acoustic performance?
Yes. Batten rhythm and timber surfaces help diffuse sound; final acoustic performance depends on backing materials and overall assembly.
Can individual battens be replaced?
Yes. The concealed fixing system allows individual battens to be removed and replaced without dismantling the entire installation.
