Aluminium Slat, Batten and Blade Styles

Every gate, screen or fence panel we create for you is custom-built to your specifications. You don't have to choose a ready-made product that isn’t quite the right match for your project. You get the look and size you want, custom-fabricated in our Brisbane aluminium gate workshop. We cater to a wide range of styles - vertical or horizontal battens, framed or face-mounted, with custom slat and gap sizing to match. That flexibility can be applied to all our products, whether it's a sliding gate, privacy screen, pedestrian gate or fence panel you’re after. Below is a breakdown of the styles we offer.

Slatted (Framed)

Framed slatted styles offer a clean, structured finish, with aluminium slats welded within a 50mm x 50mm box-section frame. Sliding gates feature a 100mm x 50mm bottom rail for additional support.

Available in 65mm x 16mm or 90mm x 16mm slats, with vertical or horizontal orientation and custom gap sizes to suit your preferred level of privacy.

Why Choose Framed Slats

The outer frame creates a defined border around the slats, giving gates, fence panels and screens a strong, finished appearance with no exposed slat ends.

Slat sizes: 65mm x 16mm | 90mm x 16mm
Welded within a 50mm x 50mm frame
Vertical or horizontal

Slatted (Face Mounted)

Face-mounted slats create a clean, minimalist finish, with aluminium slats welded directly to the face of the frame.

Available in 65mm x 16mm or 90mm x 16mm slats, with custom gap sizes to suit your preferred level of privacy. Optional end caps can be added to exposed slat tops for a finished look.

Why Choose Face-Mounted Slats

Positioning the slats in front of the frame largely conceals it from view, creating a streamlined, continuous appearance.

Welded to the face of the frame
Vertical orientation
Optional end caps
Custom gap sizes
Suited to: Sliding Gates, Fence Panels, Privacy Screens

Framed battens create a strong architectural look, with aluminium battens welded within a routed 50mm x 50mm box-section frame.

Available in a range of batten sizes, with vertical or horizontal orientation and custom gap sizes to suit your preferred level of privacy.

Why Choose Framed Battens

The visible outer frame provides a defined border, while the deeper batten profiles add dimension and create a more substantial architectural finish.

Batten sizes: 38mm x 25mm | 40mm x 40mm | 50mm x 25mm
Welded within a routed 50mm x 50mm frame

Battened (Face-Mounted)

Face-mounted battens create a bold, streamlined architectural finish, with aluminium battens welded directly to the face of the frame.

Available in a range of batten sizes with custom gap sizes to suit your preferred level of privacy. Optional end caps can be added to exposed batten tops.

Why People Choose Framed Battens

Positioning the battens in front of the frame creates a continuous batten line, combining a concealed frame with the added depth of a batten profile.

Batten sizes: 38mm x 25mm | 40mm x 40mm | 50mm x 25mm
Welded to the face of the frame
Vertical orientation
Optional end caps

Louvred (Framed)

Framed louvres offer a stylish, practical solution for privacy and screening, with angled aluminium slats welded within a strong box-section frame.

Available in vertical or horizontal orientations, louvres provide increased privacy while still allowing airflow and light through.

Why Choose Framed Louvres

The angled slats provide greater screening than standard slatted styles, while the surrounding frame creates a strong, finished appearance. A versatile option that works particularly well with Contemporary, Classic and Hamptons-style architecture.

Blade (Face Mounted)

Face-mounted blades create a bold architectural finish, with 65mm x 16mm aluminium slats welded to the face of the frame on the 16mm edge.

The narrow 16mm face and deeper 65mm profile create strong linear shadow lines, making this style particularly suited to modern and industrial architecture.

Why Choose Face Mounted Blades

Turning the slats on edge adds depth and dimension while the face-mounted construction keeps the frame largely concealed, creating a strong, continuous blade effect.

Blade size: 65mm x 16mm
Welded to the face of the frame on the 16mm edge
Vertical or horizontal orientation
Alternative sizes available
Suited to: Sliding Gates, Fence Panels, Privacy Screens
Style: Modern, contemporary and industrial

Aluminium Styles FAQs

What's the difference between framed and face-mounted styles?

Framed styles: slats or battens are welded within a box-section frame, fully enclosing each edge.

Face-mounted styles: slats or battens are welded to the outside face of the frame instead, so the frame sits behind rather than around them.

Can slats or battens run horizontally or vertically?

Yes. Orientation is set per project. Just confirm your preferred direction when requesting a quote.

Can I mix slat or batten sizes across my gate and fence panels?

Yes. Each product is custom-fabricated to your specifications, so sizing can be matched or varied across gates, fence panels, and privacy screens as needed.

What slat and batten sizes are available?

Standard sizes include 65x16mm and 38x16mm slats, with 38x25mm, 40x40mm, and 50x25mm battens also available. Other sizes can be fabricated on request.

Can gap spacing be adjusted for privacy or airflow?

Yes. Gap spacing between slats or battens is fully customisable and can be set to suit your project's requirements.
