Research & Development

Our Research and Development team worked in close conjunction with our manufacturing facilities and trades to ensure a dynamic and ongoing evolution of battens for the tile industry.

Development of the product commenced in 2015 and was based on existing market requirements and feedback from the tile industry with a focus on product improvement to alleviate challenges they faced.

During its five years of development, trade feedback and trials were conducted and independent testing by the University of South Australia undertaken.

It was critical that the product integrated seamlessly with existing practices whilst alleviating logistical challenges and improved product installation ease and efficiency.

Manufacturing Capacity

Our primary manufacturing facility is situated in South Australia where we roll form the tile batten product and batten receiver.

Manufacturing capacity is approximately 330,000 lineal meters per week. This is the equivalent of approx. 400 homes per week (20,000 homes annually) or almost 3 fully loaded B-Doubles.

In line with demand this production can be doubled or even tripled to meet market demand with the capacity to supply 100% of the tile batten market in Australia.

Logistics & Transport

The product has been designed for maximum logistical and cost efficiency. In order to achieve this QUIKBATT'N was specifically designed to be stacked efficiently on itself.

Delivery of the batten and receiver can be transported in FULL B-Double loads of approx. 102,500 lineal meters of batten and 5000 lineal meters of receiver per B-Double.

The tile batten product is lightweight and sits compact which allows to transport approx 130 homes worth of batten (based on 800 lineal m of batten) on one fully loaded B-Double.
