Black Shadow Batten 40mm x 18mm x 3m
The Black Shadow Batten 40mm x 18mm x 3m, also known as a perimeter batten, is designed to create a clean and level edge around suspended ceiling installations. Fixed around the perimeter of a room, it provides a stable fixing surface for wall angle trims.
In addition to correcting uneven surfaces, black shadow battens create a defined perimeter shadow detail, helping to emphasise and visually frame your ceiling installation.
Shadow battens are typically fixed to uneven wall or ceiling surfaces before wall angles are installed, ensuring a straight, level and professional perimeter finish.
