The Benefits of Treated Timber
The 38×50 Timber Batten is a high-quality and graded product that meets rigorous building requirements. All timber battens available on our site are responsibly sourced and made from high-pressure-treated sawn timber. This treatment process not only strengthens the battens but also enhances their resistance to wood rotting fungi, insect attacks, and routine decay.
In contrast, untreated or sawn timber offers no protection against adverse environmental conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to use treated timber battens to ensure they meet modern roofing standards and perform optimally.
