19mm x 38mm Sawn Treated Timber Batten (1.5" x 0.75") 4.8m

What Is 19x38 Timber 4.8m?

Ensure your roof stands the test of time with 19mm x 38mm x 4.8m Timber Batten. These pressure-treated roof battens are the pieces of wood that lie between the rafters to hold the roofing felt and serve as a fixing point for your tiles or slates. 

Roof battens, otherwise known as tile battens, wooden battens, and counter battens are pieces of timber that aren't graded and have no structural value, making them inexpensive in comparison to other materials used in construction.

We are a major supplier of roofing materials in the building and construction industry, offering quality building supplies and selling a variety of roof batten sizes.

Colour and finish are representative only and may vary slightly as this is a natural product.

• Roofing battens, often referred to as lath for roofing, serve as the fixing point for materials. 
• The battens are utilised as a spacing measure for both shingles and tiles before they are affixed.
• Though the battens play no aesthetic part in a finished roof, they work behind the scenes as an anchor for the finishing tiles and slates. 
• They also work to ensure the longevity of your roof, preventing fungal and insect attack.

Treated Timber - The Benefits

19x38 is a high-quality, graded batten specifically produced to meet building requirements. 

All timber battens on our site are responsibly sourced and made from high-pressure-treated sawn timber. The treatment process serves to strengthen them and enhance resistance to wood rotting fungi and insect attack as well as routine decay.

Untreated or sawn timber, by contrast, offers no protection at all from adverse environmental conditions. In order for the battens to work correctly and satisfy modern roofing requirements, it is important that they are made from treated timber.
