Board and Batten

Board and Batten is a PAC-CLAD concealed-fastener metal wall panel from Petersen. Its face alternates wide flat boards with narrower raised battens, for a clean-lined pattern with minimal trim offsets. It is made for vertical wall applications only, on commercial and residential walls.

Nominal panel widths are 12 inches and 16 inches, measured on center. The panel is 3/4 inch high. The batten is 2 inches wide and 3/4 inch deep on both widths. The batten size keeps trim offsets to a minimum.

Two base materials are listed: .032 aluminum and 24 gauge steel.

• Maximum length for steel: 30 feet.
• Maximum length for aluminum: 22 feet.

A nominal length of 8 feet is the maximum recommended for 24 gauge steel and .032 aluminum to limit the visual appearance of oil canning. An Oil Canning Acknowledgment Form is required when panels are ordered beyond the recommended lengths.

Panels install with concealed mechanical fasteners through pre-punched holes, so the face carries no exposed fixings.

The listed tests are ASTM E283, ASTM E331, AAMA 501.1, ASTM E330, TAS 202 and TAS 203. Florida approval for wall panels and a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance are listed.

The PAC-CLAD finish is 70 percent polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a Kynar-based coating. Color categories on the color chart are standard, metallic and cool. Ore finishes, wood grain finishes and anodized aluminum are listed as separate finish options.

Named colors in the PAC-CLAD range include Almond, Bone White, Charcoal, Dark Bronze, Forest Green, Hartford Green, Medium Bronze, Midnight Bronze, Musket Gray, Slate Gray, Stone White, Terra Cotta and Weathered Zinc, among others. Galvalume Plus is also listed.

Oil canning is treated as a natural characteristic of metal panels, not a defect or grounds for rejection. An Oil Canning Acknowledgment Form is required when panels are ordered beyond the recommended lengths.
