Fire Rated MDF / Timber Veneer Battens

Featurecraft’s fire rated timber battens offer a stylish and practical solution for enhancing interior spaces. Designed to resemble solid timber, these fire rated timber battens combine aesthetic appeal with the strength of MDF, making them suitable for a variety of applications including walls and ceilings. With customisable options for sizes, spacings, and shapes, fire rated timber provides designers with the flexibility to create unique, boundary-pushing environments.

We offer fire rated MDF & veneer battens (also known as FR battens), designed to combine striking aesthetics with safety. Ideal for interior walls and ceilings, our fire rated veneer battens are suitable for both direct fix and suspended ceiling systems, making them versatile for a range of architectural projects. With options for custom sizes and spacings, they can be tailored to fit unique design specifications while maintaining high fire safety standards.

Our fire rated timber battens meet Group 1S fire ratings in New Zealand and Group 2 in Australia, achieved through our factory-applied intumescent coating—eliminating the need for additional fire treatment. The system supports acoustic performance of up to 0.95 NRC, especially when paired with acoustic backing panels, which can be integrated seamlessly for enhanced sound control. Available in various sizes, shapes, and finishes—including natural, painted, stained, or washed—these battens offer flexibility for creative design while ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
