Roofing batten

ProSteel Investments' roofing battens are light and strong alternatives to the conventional timber trusses used when building residential housing in Zambia. Manufactured from hi-strength galvanized steel, these battens provide unrivaled strength and rigidity to your roofing structure whilst ensuring that they remain straight and consistent throughout their life.

These battens can be lapped, eliminating the need for on-site cutting, which makes them quicker and easier to install. They are compatible with all roof claddings and are fixed directly to the rafters with screws through each flange. The roof is then fixed to the battens with self-drilling screws.

Features

• A textured surface for easy installation when fixing the cladding
• 0.5mm thick hi-tensile steel is very strong, lightweight and easy to cut with tin snips
• The 40mm high profile is strong and has been designed to nest for easy handling and storage
