Concept Click is a system of track mounted spring steel fixing clips which
grasp specially profiled timber battens in a simple push on “click” action.
flexibility: select the species and sizing and set your own sequence and spacing.
benefits
> a clean, contemporary look is achieved with
concealed fixing.
> The simple square profiles provide a sharp aesthetic.
> by being able to select: from 15 available sizes in
3 species, any sequence of sizes and whatever
spacing is required, concept click is an amazingly
flexible design tool which can be used to create the
most dramatic special effects.
> specification is simple with known outcomes
assured by utilizing the modular system, standard
specification format and cad drawings supplied.
> installation is a very quick process with limited skill
requirements and minimal onsite labour.
> damaged battens are easily replaced by simply
cutting them out and snapping in a new one.
> can be configured to meet council privacy
requirements.
> it is excellent for curved wall facades when used
vertically.
> also available in premade prefinished panels.
standard of Quality
Concept Click batten profiles are precision machined
to a furniture grade machined finish, requiring virtually
no further sanding prior to applying surface finishes.
All timber is visually graded to our Natural Select grade
which comprises min. 2/3 select and max. 1/3 standard
according to AS 2796.2. All timber is equalized in our
kiln-drying process to a moisture content of 9-13% for
maximum stability.
All aspects of the track system are produced on
technically advanced production systems ensuring
accuracy of within 1mm.
Timber species
Concept Click is manufactured in 3 species: Pacific
Teak, Burnt Ash and Spotted Gum. Refer to page 8 for
images. Pacific Teak and Burnt Ash are outstanding as
low shrinkage timbers, a key requirement for external
screening battens.
fire resistance
Spotted Gum satisfies the definition of fire-retardant
treated timber as specified in AS3959. Pacific Teak
and Burnt Ash can be treated with most paint-on fire
resistance treatments currently available.
durability
All three timbers are Durability Class 1 for exterior
above ground use. Refer to the table of available sizes
(page 7) which indicates the sizes in each species
that are suitable for exterior use. For exterior horizontal
screens a raked top is recommended (refer to page 7).
The clips and rivets are manufactured from hardened
spring steel and mechanically galvinised to class 4
(AS3566) which are suitable for use within 50m of the
coastline.
The standard track sizes are manufactured from
3.0mm aluminium. Tophat and c-section for special
applications can also be produced in 1.2mm Duragal.R
environmental sustainability
Woodform Architectural is committed to sustainable
building practices to ensure the long term survival
of our planet with minimal environmental impact.
Responsibly harvested timber from carefully managed
resources is one of the most sustainable building
products known to man. We at Woodform Architectural
undertake to source timber from reliable resources
to uphold our policy. Refer to our species guide for
specific information.

> The Key concepts:
click-on profile mechanism
A key element of the Concept Click system is
the way the spring steel clip grasps the specially
shaped wooden profile. The rolled spring jaws
are like a shark bite in that their shape makes
it easy to enter their grip, but once in, it is
impossible to remove. This click- on connection
is the essence of what makes the Concept Click
system a huge labour saving while at the same
time providing concealed fixing.
clip to track connection
The mechanically
galvinised clip is fastened
on to the aluminium track
using self-piercing rivet
technology, notable for
its use in the production
of aluminium sports
cars. This type of fastener is unique in that it is
a high strength connection for joining corrosion
resistant materials together.
Ontrax
Ontrax is the provision of Concept Click clips prefixed
and pre-indexed to a mounting track in an unlimited
range of sequences and spacing using a range of
15 batten sizes. This is a quantum leap in the scope
of what can be achieved with batten screening. The
tracks are simply screwed to a substrate, lined up
from a datum line, and the battens cut to length and
clicked into place. Results have never been so easy.

standard profile
The standard profile is designed to
look like a square batten with a slimline
groove on each side while providing
concealed fixing. From the back it
looks like a chamfered edge batten.
This is the best option for all vertical,
internal and external horizontal in
sheltered locations only.
splayed top profile
The splayed top profile is designed to
provide full drainage along the top edge
where the open topped groove of the
standard profile may collect moisture
affecting long term durability. This does
mean that the top jaw of the clip is
visible but against a black background
it is not very noticeable. It is used mainly
for privacy screens, fences and gates.
sizing
The diagram below shows graphically the range
of batten sizes available, range of suitability for
exterior use and recommended fixing centres.
Lengths
Concept Click battens are available in either random
lengths or set lengths.
Random lengths: used mainly for larger areas where an
express joint is undesirable. A wastage factor of 10-20%
should be allowed for cutting back to join over a track. A
full clip should be allowed for on either side of a join. Note
the track detail to allow for random joins in track selection.
Number of extra clips required for joins is: total linear
metres ÷ average length (2.4m+-).
Set lengths: used for panel type applications or where an
express joint is being used. Available in 3.6m, 3.0m, 2.4m,
1.8m, 1.5m, 1.2m, 0.9m. A surcharge of 25% applies.

Ontrax profiles
Burnt Ash Spotted Gum Pacific Teak
aluminium c-section 25x12x3mm
black powdercoated
Code: almotx25123
A light, low profile section particularly
useful for piggy backing on top of
other existing elements like: steel
frames, furring channels, fencing posts
etc. It is also useful for curved walls
and mid rails. Fixing point centres no
greater than 400mm.
aluminium c-section 25x25x3mm
black powdercoated
Code: almotx25253
This is a deeper profile which has
greater strength along its length
making it suitable for heavier screening
battens and larger fixing centres.
Often used for wall facades or fixing
to masonry. Fixing point centres no
greater than 600mm depending on
weight of battens.
aluminium c-section 50x25x3mm
black powdercoated
Code: almotx50253
The purpose of this profile is to allow
for double clips to mounted on the
joins of random joint panels. The row
of clips is riveted to one side allowing
a further clip to be screwed on the
open side at the joins as needed.
Fixing point centres no greater than
600mm.
fixing clips
Manufactured from hardened
spring steel, mechanically
galvinised and painted black
to reduce visibility. Concept
Click fixing clips are available
in the four sizes shown
corresponding to the
four standard widths
of batten.
pre-oiling
Concept Click battens can be provided
with a factory applied envelope coat
of Cutek timber preservative oil which
penetrates deeply into the timber
improving stability and providing on-site protection. The final
coat which is normally applied prior to installation can have
a color tint added to it for UV-protection or left clear allowing
the timber to grey naturally. Other options are available for
prefinishing to specific project requirements.

Timber Types
Concept Click battens are produced in Pacific Teak,
Burnt Ash and Spotted Gum. Please refer to page 2 or
the Woodform species selection data sheet for further
information. The images at right are indicative only as the
colour and grain of the timber may vary. The size selection
diagram below indicates maximum recommended size for
a given species in outside use. Pacific Teak and Burnt Ash
are preferred for their stability whereas Spotted Gum offers
natural fire resistance.
