The installation of the quoin battens itself is extremely simple and hassle-free, while still achieving the perfect finish. What are the main benefits of using quoin battens? We explain in detail below.
Quoin battens are usually made of plastic (cheapest) or polystyrene (slightly more expensive but with better properties). As a result, the first and for many the most important feature of quoin battens is their relatively favourable price. Quoin battens are produced on polystyrene cores which are additionally protected with a polymer coating (e.g. rustication mouldings from WMB) have excellent thermal insulation properties, which is why many investors opt for this wall finishing option. In addition, this type of decorative element is distinguished by its extraordinary repeatability of dimensions. This makes it possible to achieve a consistent and aesthetically pleasing visual appearance of the property. In turn, an aesthetically finished façade has a huge impact on the value of the house, which is particularly appreciated by those planning to sell it. When mentioning the functionality of quoin battens, it should not be forgotten that this is one of the elements that makes it possible to achieve perfectly straight horizontal or vertical decorative grooves on the façade, while ensuring that this type of decorative work is carried out quickly and easily. The contractor does not have to laboriously cut the mesh or blend the angles, as the manufacturer has protected the product with a ready-made facade coating.
These are just a few of the advantages of rustication of facades, which make more and more people decide to use them. Among the additional features which contribute to their popularity is the possibility of using the mouldings to visually lower or raise the walls by using appropriate spacing between the mouldings, which definitely improves the aesthetics of the entire building.
is also worth mentioning the properties of quoin battens. The most important thing is that they are resistant to the harmful effects of atmospheric conditions - they are not afraid of the sun or low temperatures, but also heavy rain. The battens can also be ordered in a non-flammable version, which are made of a special material called STO VEROLITH. (a lightweight, homogeneous mineral material made of more than 90% perlite, a rock of volcanic origin) By using such products, you will increase the safety of your property. In addition, they are environmentally friendly and, importantly, can be painted using a suitable facade paint.

The quoin battens are available in different variants, so that they can be easily matched to both classic and modern style properties.
