Highwood — patented structural LVL rainscreen battens

Warehoos is the sole distributor of Highwood structural LVL rainscreen battens in the United States and Canada. Highwood was founded by Nick Higgins to reimagine traditional construction with engineered timber. The flagship product — HighFlow™ — is the first structural LVL batten that integrates continuous ventilation grooves on both faces and a bevelled drainage edge. One component replaces the layered approach of furring + drainage mat + framing, simplifying installation and improving wall performance.

Patented in Australia (Patent No. 2025201120), HighFlow is now available in the US and Canada exclusively through Warehoos.

Why HighFlow

• Engineered Performance. LVL is straight, strong, and dimensionally stable — the right substrate for high-spec cladding that won't tolerate warped pressure-treated SPF.
• Energy Efficiency. The air cavity created by HighFlow improves the effective insulation of the wall system and supports compliance with modern energy codes.
• Moisture Reduction. Continuous ventilation and drainage prevent moisture buildup in the wall frame, reducing mould risk and supporting healthier indoor environments.
• Simpler Framing. HighFlow is structural — no nogging, no secondary battens. Cladding fastens directly. Fewer parts, faster install, lower labour cost.
