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. Every BS5534 graded batten must be indelibly marked / stamped with the following:
British standards BS 5534 and BS 8000-6:1990 give the information you need for fixing and installation:
25mm x 50mm x 4.8 Meters - Stamped Blue BS5534 Roofing Batten is suitable for use with Slate, Fibre-Cement, Concrete & Clay Tiles in both single and double lap applications with upto a 600mm on center construction.
Our battens are supplied with an industrially applied treatment process designed to provide a 60-year design life under Use Class 2. The relevant Standard is BS 8417:2011 Preservation of Wood. Cut ends should be treated with brush-applied preservative, especially those in contact with mortar
Where appropriate, Nottage Timber Merchants may supply a different colour than specified here on our website. Where an alternative product is supplied, we will ensure the replacement is fully stamped and supplied as a graded BS5534 batten to equal or greater specification than listed here.
