Timber Battens

Timber battens are machined strips of wood that are widely used in construction projects as part of the roofing or as floor joists, partitions, or framing. They are often used externally to create a facade that can provide shade from the sun in addition to looking unique.

We offer a variety of products, including treated timber battens. Our sawn-treated timber battens are available in several sizes for different uses/applications, with various lengths from 3.6 to 4.8 meters. These batten timber products are pressure-treated to increase durability and enhance protection from rain. They are available in natural or blue and are suitable for use in agricultural buildings, sheds, field shelters, etc.

Treated timber battens can look very similar, but the product's properties differ and it is important that you select the correct batten. If you have plans or a schedule of work, then please check if there is a specification mentioned.

For bespoke trellis and general construction. These timbers are all pressure treated with Tanalith E, or a similar, timber preservative. It is important to the durability of the batten that any cross-cuts are treated with two coats of end-grain treatment.

The most popular sized timber battens are typically used for roofing battens. Part-graded type A battens are still used but the “Super Yellow” and Blue coloured battens are becoming increasingly popular. This roofing batten normally only requires a final grading on-site by the roofing contractor.
