Metal Board & Batten brings the timeless board-and-batten look to durable, low-maintenance steel. Hidden fasteners give clean lines, and it comes in painted, textured and realistic woodgrain finishes (like Hickory and Barnwood) — a maintenance-free alternative to wood siding for homes, barns and commercial buildings.

Why Metal Board & Batten

Built to perform — here's what sets it apart.

Classic look, modern material

The time-honored board-and-batten profile in steel — the warmth of the style with the strength and lifespan of metal, at a price comparable to wood but without the upkeep.

Hidden fasteners, clean lines

A concealed-fastener system means no exposed screws — just clean vertical lines and a stylish, finished look.

Painted, textured or woodgrain

Choose smooth painted colors, a matte textured finish, or remarkably realistic woodgrains like Hickory, Barnwood, Dark Oak and Rough Cedar.

No-maintenance & recycled

Won’t rot, warp or need repainting like wood or vinyl — and Central States steel is up to 80% recycled content.
