Applications
- Lightweight framing support: Can be used with sheet materials such as plywood, plasterboard, and cladding where battens create a level fixing base.
- Service gaps in construction: Useful for forming cavities for insulation, cabling, and pipework.
- Fencing trims and detailing: Suitable for light-duty edging and finishing work around posts and panels.
- DIY and interiors: Practical for shelving, boxing-in, and small-scale framing and repair tasks.
Installation Guidance
- Set out battens evenly: Ensures consistent fixing points and prevents material warping.
- Use galvanised or stainless fixings: Protects against corrosion and prolongs service life outdoors.
-
Maintain ventilation gaps: Supports insulation performance and prevents trapped moisture behind cladding or sheet materials.
Compliance & Performance
- Preservative treatment: Pressure treated for durability and resistance to fungal decay and insect attack.
- Service conditions: Intended for use above ground, where timber may be subject to occasional moisture but not constant wetting or ground contact.
