At Bradfords Building Supplies, we stock a wide selection of roofing battens in a range of sizes to suit your needs. A batten is generally a strip of timber, used in the construction of buildings. Roof battens serve a dual purpose beyond offering footholds for roofers; they constitute a crucial element of the overall roof structure. These components bear the weight of slates or tiles and handle additional loads from factors such as snow and wind. Recognised for their significance, high-quality battens contribute substantially to the creation of a secure roof. While compliance with BS 5534 is not a legal mandate, this standard outlines the specifications for battens. Opting for battens marked as BS 5534-compliant is the most reliable approach to ensure that these components are well-suited for their intended purpose. This adherence to standards enhances the overall quality and performance of roof battens, reinforcing their role in creating a robust and dependable roofing system. We supply a range of roof battens for all your construction needs, whether you're a trade or experienced DIYer. Whatever the job, you will find everything you need at Bradfords for a job well done.
