Fire Rated Veneer Battens

Featurecraft’s Fire Rated Veneer Battens – also known in the industry as FR Veneer Battens or Fire Rated MDF Battens – are stylish and practical enhancements for interior spaces. They are designed to resemble solid timber, but they harness the strength and resilience of MDF to create complex decorative systems. With a simple installation method and powerful flexibility in terms of design and spacing, our Fire Rated Veneer Battens can be incorporated effortlessly into any architectural environment, transforming uniform walls and ceilings into stunning feature pieces.

Featurecraft’s Fire Rated MDF Battens are specially treated to improve their fire-retardant properties, making them exceptionally well suited for interior applications without any requirement for intumescent coating. As well as being designed for maximal user safety, Fire Rated MDF Battens are also compatible with acoustic backing panels for better sound quality.

Additional Information

The true versatility of this product comes from the veneer that is pressed onto the batten. Featurecraft offers dozens of timber veneer species ranging in shades from silvery greys to warm natural browns to bold and dramatic blacks. We can also apply timber stains to Fire Rated Timber Veneer Battens that have been finished with a natural veneer. Our wide variety of veneer and stain options enables a high degree of creative control, ensuring that architects and designers can fine-tune the visual composition of their environment.

To complement the Fire Rated Timber Veneer Batten range, Featurecraft also offers high pressure laminate (HPL) and melamine finishes. These highly durable, easily cleanable surfaces allow designers to bring the timber aesthetic into hygiene-sensitive or high impact settings, demonstrating yet again the unparalleled flexibility of FR Veneer Battens.

Batten shape offers another avenue for customisation. Featurecraft's Fire Rated Veneer Battens come in a variety of standard sizes and profiles that are guaranteed to elevate the aesthetics of any environment. In addition, for designers who seek a unique feature product, we go one step further and provide tailor-made battens in custom shapes and sizes. Our custom battens have been used for numerous feature walls and feature ceilings across New Zealand, with shapes ranging from curved waveforms that resemble local rivers to tapering silhouettes that dramatically transform static walls.

Our specialty is custom work: the batten may be a simple shape, but we can transform it however you might desire.
