Thermo Ayous trim and batten profiles (2x2, 2x4, 1x8, 1x10) are engineered for privacy screens, solar brise-soleils, vertical batten facades, and minimalist exterior trims where straightness and light weight are critical.

Determine batten support spacing from the profile, orientation, wind load and attachment design.
Stainless steel trim screws with small finish heads

Avoid trapped water and provide drainage and drying around exterior battens.
Material & assembly planning
Cataloged 2x2 and 2x4 profiles provide a repeatable starting point for screens and trim layouts.
Sharp tools and supported cuts help produce crisp corners and architectural reveals.
Reduced tangential movement supports more consistent joints through seasonal changes.
Thermal modification reduces moisture uptake and changes nutrients used by decay fungi; confirm the rating for the selected profile.
Real wood modified without added wood-preservative chemicals.
