Roof Battens

Roof Battens are lengths of treated wood that are installed to the rafters to not only secure the roofing felt, but also provide a place for tiles or slates to be later secured to the roof. They serve as a horizontal anchor point, and the spacing between them is determined by the size of the tile or slate being installed.

Roofing battens can also serve as a structural component of a roof, providing additional stability and support. Battens are available from Myers in a range of conventional sizes, and the tile or slate selected will determine which size is necessary for installation. Due to the nature of being outdoors in all-weather situations, they are all treated and protected against rot and decay, ensuring that they last for a long time.
