Hardwood Louvered Panel

Every batten in these screens is a single solid piece of kiln-dried hardwood — no finger joints, no glued-up offcuts. A one-piece batten has no weak points to open up in the sun and rain, so your screen stays straight and stable for the long haul. Battens are 42mm x 19mm (32mm x 19mm on Spotted Gum), fixed to 42mm x 19mm rails on the back.

We fasten every batten with galvanised screws, not stainless. Stainless screws are more brittle and can harden when driven into dense hardwood, snapping later when the timber is exposed to the elements — galvanised screws are stronger and hold tight for the life of the screen. Every rear screw is pre-drilled so the timber never cracks.

Screens come pre-assembled with pre-drilled fixing holes. Install posts first (treated pine or steel recommended), then fix screens to posts with coach screws or bolts. No specialist tools required — two people recommended for larger screens.

For best results, oil your timber screens every 6–12 months with a quality exterior timber oil. Raw screens should be oiled within 2 weeks of installation. Pre-oiled screens are ready to install — first re-oil at 12 months.
