It is the British Standard for roofing battens, ensuring the timber has undergone specific testing for strength, moisture content, and consistency.
While structurally sound, they are pressure-treated for exterior use and may contain chemicals not suitable for indoor living spaces.
Store them flat, raised off the ground using spacers, and keep them under cover to prevent them from getting wet or warping under sun exposure.
Yes, the pressure treatment is specifically designed to provide protection against rot, decay, and insect attack.
Yes, they can be cut to size using standard carpentry tools, though you should treat any exposed end-grain with timber preservative.
Minor natural curvature is common in timber; ensure the bowed side faces upward (camber up) during installation to allow the weight of the tiles to straighten the run.
Ensure you are using the correct diameter fixings and pre-drill pilot holes if working near the very edge of the timber.
Installation should be carried out by qualified individuals following standard roofing practices. Ensure that the battens are fixed using appropriate corrosion-resistant nails at every rafter intersection. To maintain the integrity of the pressure treatment, any cut ends should be recoated with a suitable timber preservative.
Store the battens in a dry, well-ventilated area, keeping them stacked flat on level ground with adequate spacing to allow for airflow. Avoid direct contact with wet ground to prevent moisture absorption. If transporting, ensure the 4.8m lengths are properly secured to avoid damage during transit.
