Featuring Ever Art Wood Kabebari 50x100mm battens in Kuri Masame

The chosen design for @ariaproperty.com.au HQ featured a statement ‘crown’ – a decorative structure consisting of ‘floating’ timber battens, in a continuous flow around the entire top level and roof. While a timber crown would succeed in achieving a high impact facade, the use of real timber on external areas can be fraught with challenges; not only are many hardwoods too costly, but they pose fire testing complications and require on-going maintenance, fading over time and subject to mould and insect attack

The light-weight aluminium Kabebari battens offer the ultimate cladding alternative to real timber. Not only are the Ever Art Wood battens fire rated with a photo-realistic timber finish – the result of a unique printing process – but they boast unmatched durability, capable of resisting high levels of UV attack and maintaining colour for longer. The Ever Art Wood series is also impervious to moisture ingress, warping or insect damage, and require virtually zero maintenance.
