Batten Seam

OVERLY PANEL SYSTEMS® by East Coast Metal Systems revolutionized the architectural metals industry in the early 1940s with the invention and patent of the Overly Goodwin Batten — the first metal batten system of its kind. Today, Overly’s Batten A and Batten B profiles continue that legacy, providing high-performance, aesthetically refined architectural metal panel systems for a wide range of prestigious and complex building designs worldwide.

Batten A and Batten B – Custom Engineered for Versatility and Performance

Both Batten A and Batten B are customizable raised batten systems featuring Overly’s proprietary continuous internal drainage channel, engineered for superior water management and long-term performance.

These systems are ideal for:

  • Straight slope installations
  • Barrel vault roofing
  • Domes and curved surfaces
  • Complex geometries requiring concave or convex panels

Each system is designed to accommodate tapered and curved panels, making them perfect for projects requiring advanced architectural flexibility and weather-resistant performance.

Distinctive Design Options for Bold Architectural Expression

In addition to their technical superiority, OVERLY batten systems offer designers and architects the ability to integrate custom ornamental battens. These decorative components can be secured to or over the standard extrusion, enhancing visual depth and adding a bold architectural statement to any façade or roofing application.
