Batten-Tite panels are available in smooth or embossed surfaces and in an extensive range of metals, including aluminum, galvanized, stainless steel, copper, and zinc and with mill or fluoropolymer (Kynar) coatings. Custom materials, gauges, and coatings are also available.

It can be applied over plywood or over gyp board with rigid insulation over decking. Installation requires the appropriate IMETCO roofing underlayment as per project specific conditions.
