Treated Timber Roofing Batten 19mm x 38mm
Roofing Battens, also known as Roofing Lath, are used to provide the initial structure to roofing and/or an extensions, and also serves as the fixing point for roofing materials such as shingles or tiles. Roofing Battens can be placed in specific ways to provide slightly different qualities to your finished roof, for example, use of a Counter Batten System (a grid of battens running in both directions) provides an improvement in ventilation. These Battens are strong and finely finished, with extra treatment applied to withstand outdoor conditions and resist against decay, rot and insect attacks. This protection is approved for a 60 year service life, ensuring maximum protection and long lasting properties.
