The Click-On Batten System consists of Mounting Tracks and connectors using Clip/Spring Connections and Click-on Battens of Aluminum or Timber in various profiles and finishes including curved walls and ceilings including Custom Design Solutions achieve the design intent of the Architect.
The mounting track/batten assembly is mounted to various substrates or third-party framing systems provided by others, and requires the framing system designer to incorporate factors such as wind loading, bracing, seismic, building movement and other relevant standards to the overall design. Our Click-on Batten system is a highly customizable, proprietary acoustic batten system. Famous for the unique patented clip connection, our Click-on Battens make installation fast and easy using either timber or aluminum battens in a range of sizes and profiles.
A specially designed groove in the back of each batten serves as the interface between the batten and clip. The clips are provided pre-fixed to mounting tracks that are quickly installed on-site before the battens are clicked into place.
Our patented Click-on connection produces a solid click when the battens engage with the mounting track clips and results in a fast installation with completely concealed fixings. Clips are factory fitted and pre-spaced to a mounting track, with a variety available to suit your application's substrate. The flexibility of our system allows for hatches and even hidden doors to be detailed without disturbing the linear textures of the feature wall or ceiling. The ends of battens are also covered, with a range of trims to suit.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** While steam bent timber lessens the number of joins required for a curved application, some joints are still required. Select the joint type required and delete the one not required.
Aligned Joints: Provide with aligned joints to maintain the join line throughout the wall or ceiling, ensuring consistency.
Staggering the joins in the curved timber can lessen the disruption to the aesthetic, making it a perfect option for a ' seamless' look. 2 - 3 alternating curved battens are supplied, allowing the joins to be located at different locations which helps to blend the join line.
Our curved timber process limits the lengths of timber achievable. The maximum length achievable is 1800 mm., where the minimum length is 1000 mm.. This can be trimmed on-site to suit requirements.

Joining Kerfed Battens:
Stiff aluminum joiners are supplied to bridge between two battens at the butt joints. This will stop the battens tendency to tent or peak at the butt joints.
Clip Options: Our kerfed timber integrates with our timber Click-on Battens system and uses our patented clip connections. The two most common methods of fixing the battens are:
Standard track system, using mounting tracks with prefixed clips to hold the battens in place.
Direct fix clips to ply forms, which are attached to the substrate and form the shape of the curve. This method is useful for complex applications.
We recommend 5mm to 10 mm. to limit visibility of kerfing behind the battens,
Minimum bending radius (inner). Minimum inner radius that can be formed by kerfing is 1.5 meters.
Coordinate with other trades for curved Metal Stud Frame support for kerfed battens.

Clip Types:
Back Mount Fixed: Back when using the Back Mount Method a 20 mm. clear gap is required above or below the batten to enable installation and removal of the battens.
Back Mount Float: Back Mount Floating clip is only designed to take up to +- 5mm for installation and thermal movement. Not suitable for building movement. All mounting tracks to be fixed to a continuous frame that eliminates building movement. If your screen is a slab to slab application, or building movement is expected, refer to the End Mount floating clip.
End Mount Fixed: End Mount floating clip can take up to +- 25mm of Building movement if installed with a 25 mm gap under the batten.
Mounting Track Types and Substrate Fixings
Split Track - 45x25mm: Used in straight applications for both back mount and end mount. Designed to span up to 1200 mm. between balustrade posts. Track has pull out adjustment from 25-35 mm, to allow onsite packing.
Slim Track - 45x5mm: Default end mount track, designed to be slim to the floor and ceiling. Used for back mount curves down to a 600 mm. Radius. Fixing of this track must be through the center of the clip casting.
Direct Fix: Where no track is desired for both back mount and end mount. Complex site specific spacing. Sculptform does not take responsibility for the clip to substrate connection. Screw not supplied by Sculptform. Suitable fixing needs to be considered by the installer. M5 or 10g countersunk screw is most suitable.
Mid Support Threaded Rod: For applications requiring a large distance between clips, a threaded rod and spacer system can be used as an extra fixing point. The rod runs through pre-drilled holes and uses spacer sleeves to help prevent movement and keep the battens straight.
Removability:
The removal tool has two prongs that when slid into the clip connection, disengage the spring and release the batten. For back mount, the batten will need 20 mm. of space above to lift and remove.

**Note to Specifier** Concave means "hollowed out or rounded inward" and is easily remembered because these surfaces "cave" in. The opposite is convex meaning "curved or rounded outward." Select the Curve direction(s) and Radii(s) required and delete those not required. Each radius requires specialized equipment (formers) in order to produce the curved timber battens. To save on costs, we offer a range of radii as standard. Any custom radius within the parameters can be achieved, contact us to discuss your specific project requirements.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** While steam bent timber lessens the number of joins required for a curved application, some joints are still required. Select the joint type required and delete the one not required.
Aligned Joints: Provide with aligned joints to maintain the join line throughout the wall or ceiling, ensuring consistency.
Staggering the joins in the curved timber can lessen the disruption to the aesthetic, making it a perfect option for a ' seamless' look. 2 - 3 alternating curved battens are supplied, allowing the joins to be located at different locations which helps to blend the join line.
Aligned Joints: Provide with aligned joints to maintain the join line throughout the wall or ceiling, ensuring consistency.
Staggered Joints: Provide with Staggered Joints.
**Note to Specifier** Our curved timber process limits the lengths of timber achievable. The maximum length achievable is 1800 mm., where the minimum length is 1000 mm.. This can be trimmed on-site to suit requirements.
Bulkhead and Ceiling to Wall Transitions: Provide as indicated on the Drawings. Coordinate with other trades for Ply Form Radius Supports and suspended ceiling supports (Not Provided by Sculptform).
**Note to Specifier** Kerfing is the process of cutting small notches in the back of the timber batten to allow it to curve. Our kerfed battens are provided to site straight but flexible to allow for fixing to curved forms on-site. The process of curving timber through kerfing is not suitable for all the timber profiles. The range below has been tested and will perform well when kerfed. Select Kirfed battens, Species and finish required. Delete if not required.
