Timber floors and decks are ever popular, and the use of architectural timber battens for indoor and outdoor screening/cladding is on the rise. Achieving client satisfaction for these products in the short term is relatively easy as the products look excellent when first installed, but there are many things to consider – species selection, installation, connections and finishes – to maintain an attractive appearance and deliver maximum service life.

UNDERSTAND how good design impacts on maintenance scheduling
EVALUATE what species are best suited for floors, decks & battens
