Treated Timber Batten | 19mm x 38mm

Treated Timber Roofing Battens

Roofing battens or battening, also called roofing lath, are used to provide the fixing point for roofing materials such as shingles or tiles. The spacing of the battens on the trusses or rafters depend on the type of roofing material and are applied horizontally like purlins. Battens are also used in metal roofing to secure the sheets called a batten-seam roof and are covered with a batten roll joint. Some roofs may use a grid of battens in both directions, known as a counter-batten system, which improves ventilation.
