Help required sourcing split batten suppliers, please?
Just putting a quotation together for a client, they’ve requested ‘split batten’ fixings to the rear.
I’ve found one supplier but they have a £150 minimum order. Anyone suggest another supplier?
Cheers

Hi David , what sort of panel are the split batons going on to ?
We use aluminium "Z" rail on MDF/Ply signs, Acrylic on Acrylic/dibond/Foamex -
Going on 10mm foamex, fitted in a public area so I think they want it close fitting to the wall.
-
How big is the panel ?
If it’s in a public area I think I would want something a bit more secure.
Does it have to be on a split baton or could you use something like keyhole fixings ? -
7@ 600×850 & 2 @ 1000×500
I suppose keyhole fixings may do the job, it’s just the customer asked specifically for split battens.

We have never bought them in, we just make our own from off cut materials.
We did this one recently, 5mm acrylic with routed text white backing.

I’m curious as to how you make your own?
Do you have a router in house?

Hi David,
We cut strips of material as per pic, you can add stoppers to the ends and put a concealed screw in the top for security.

That’ll do the job! And for a fraction of the price!

we just run a 50mm strip of18mm MDF through table saw @ 45 degrees or there abouts, weight forces angles together and the 18mm gap gives a nice stand off fixing free lookKev
