025 x 038 CPLO BRITISH STANDARD BATTERN/LATH

£3.46

Super Yellow TM BS5534 Roofing Battens are low pressure treated to Use Class 2. The treatment process includes additional dye to leave the timber permanently marked with a distinctive yellow colour, making our Super Yellow TM battens instantly distinguishable from traditional ‘Type A’ or ‘Green’ batten.

  • BS 5534:2003 states the requirements for roofing battens, and includes information about the species, grades, treatment and required markings.
  • Pressure treated with preservatives to enhance resistance to rot and insect attack
  • Most organisations, for example National House Builders Council & Local Authority Building Control require fully-compliant battens.
  • NHBC now require that timber used for battens should be indelibly marked to demonstrate compliance with BS 5534
  • Although not a legal requirement, BS 5534 sets out the standard for battens. The best way to ensure battens are fit for purpose is to choose those marked as BS 5534-compliant.

Manufacturers often add a coloured dye to their preservative treatment process to differentiate non-graded batten from BS5534 Batten. The colour itself does not matter, and is decided by the manufacturer at the time of treatment. There is a wide variety of colours including Red, Blue & Gold available, but this is not enough to show the battens meet BS 5534.
