Reclaimed Scaffold Board Cladding Battens (40mm x 38mm) - All lengths - SANDED
The Batten
These battens are made from our reclaimed scaffold boards and therefore have all the character and detail of our boards, but sized as a batten, making them ideal for cladding, panelling, screening, room dividing, and a range of other decorative uses. Unlike many other cladding options, these battens have a good depth to them, ideal for creating a visually stunning shadow gap if spaced in this way.
The cladding is intended for both interior and external use and will look incredible in both settings. If using externally please do make sure to understand and research the required treatments and maintenance that you would be required.

Sanding options
- Light (hand) sand: We give the board a light sand by hand. This takes out any lumps and bumps and leaves the board smoother than when it is unfinished. All hard edges are also smoothed off.
Oil options
We use Danish Oil, a traditional oil which is perfect for bringing out the natural grain of the wood whilst leaving a durable, satin finish. This is available in three colour options:
- Natural (light)
- Antique (medium)
- Jacobean Oak (dark)

Cutting service
We do not charge any extra to cut a board to a particular length. To make use of this service please add to your basket the next larger size of board to the size you require, for example if you would like a 55cm length board and an 82cm length board please add one 60cm board and one 90cm board.
You can then let us know the custom sizes you require at the basket stage. When you view your basket you should see an option to "Add instructions for seller" - please click on this and specify the required sizes. We'll see this note on your order and cut accordingly.

For these battens we do not offer samples, but please do go ahead and purchase a 1ft batten if you wish to test the product first.

We do charge for rip cuts to a particular width, at £1 per foot (30cm). For example, to rip a 300cm (10ft) board from 225mm wide to 180mm width, the cost would be £10 for this service. You can add this to your order by adding the Rip Cut product below - you will initially only be able to add 1 at £1, but when you go to your basket you can adjust the quantity accordingly (in the above example you would change the quantity to 10). Don't worry - if you choose too many or too few then we can always edit the order for you and credit/invoice for the balance.
