Lower-Carbon Aluminium. IT's better.

When you use Apollo+ LocAl® aluminium you are making a more sustainable choice, lowering the carbon emissions of the aluminium used in your project, and most importantly, doing better for the planet. Read more...

Trusted by Australia's
foremost design practices

Lower Carbon, Better Future

Choose Apollo+ lower-carbon aluminium to significantly reduce embodied carbon — without paying a premium. All our Apollo+ Aluminium is cleaner not to tick a box, but because it’s the right thing to do. We’re so committed to this that we offer it at the same price as standard aluminium, so our (and your) footprint is lighter.

Fully Customisable, Modular Design

Design without limits. The Apollo system is modular, so you can tailor spacing, orientation and scale to your project. Enjoy the creative freedom to deliver a distinctive linear feature that’s unique to your space.

Local Finishes & Timber-Look Options

We powder-coat locally to Australian standards. Prefer a warmer aesthetic? Our timber-effect finishes mimic the look of wood while retaining aluminium’s durability and low maintenance.

Rapid Installation

Pre-fixed Apollo clips on mounting tracks speed up layout and fix-off — reducing on-site labour and getting you to handover faster.

Fire Safe, Non-Combustible

Aluminium battens are non-combustible and achieve a Group 1 fire rating in accordance with AS 5637.1-2015. Suitable for internal and external applications where compliance matters.

Delivery

From initial design consultation to final delivery, our team is focused on reliability and timing. A nationwide distribution network means efficient service wherever you are in Australia.

Let's talk... 
Reach out to the team to chat project details and ideas.

Can these battens be used outdoors?

Yes, they’re designed for both internal and external applications, with finishes engineered to resist weathering.

Can the battens be used in ceilings, walls, facades (or other forms)?

Yes, our Apollo batten system works for both horizontal and vertical orientations, and can be used in ceilings, feature walls, external facades, or architectural screens.

What is the fire rating?

Our Apollo aluminium battens are non-combustible and achieve a Group 1 fire rating under AS 5637.1-2015.

What finish options are available?

Powder coat, anodised, or timber-effect finishes are available — all applied locally to Australian standards for quality and consistency.

Can the battens be cut or trimmed on site?

Yes, aluminium battens can be trimmed or cut to required lengths on site. However, we recommend pre-designing lengths to minimise waste and maintain the finish integrity.

How quickly can I get them?

Lead times are fast — paired with efficient installation thanks to pre-fixed clips on the mounting tracks.

Are the battens durable / low maintenance?

Yes. Being aluminium, they resist moisture, rot, and warping, and require far less maintenance than natural timber. Finishes such as powder coat, anodised, and timber effect are applied locally to Australian standards for long-term durability.
