Primarily used to support slates and tiles on pitched roofs, it is equally useful for counter battening, cladding and timber frame work, fixing plasterboard to masonry, and general site battening across both domestic and commercial projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRoofing batten sits beneath the tiles for the life of the roof, in a cold, ventilated space where damp and condensation are a constant presence, so preservative protection matters more here than on most timber. Pressure treatment drives preservative deep into the batten under vacuum, protecting against fungal decay and insect attack in a position that would be costly and disruptive to put right once the roof is finished. The blue colour is a treatment dye that makes treated batten easy to identify on site and at inspection, and it will fade with exposure to daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"accordion\" class=\"product-page__accordian\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"collapse_specs\" class=\"collapse show\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-page__spec-table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-page__spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product-page__spec-table__heading\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product-page__spec-table__heading\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4800mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product-page__spec-table__heading\"\u003eSection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1x2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product-page__spec-table__heading\"\u003eThickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product-page__spec-table__heading\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Home \u0026 Trade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55403709399367,"sku":"TIMB041","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7759\/6999\/files\/TIMB041.jpg?v=1791879284"}],"url":"https:\/\/homeandtrade.co.uk\/collections\/roofing-batten.oembed","provider":"Home \u0026 Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
