Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How far do the battens span?
A: Knotwood battens are available in a number of sizes dependent upon your particular needs in regards to wind rating and fixing points. Lengths are supplied in set lengths, but they can be joined together easily to create your desired span. Your installer should consult an engineer when necessary for larger products.

A: We are able to supply purpose designed end-caps to match the color of your Knotwood battens if needed.
Q: How do I clean and maintain my product?
