SRT Premium Gold Roofing Batten

  • SR Timber Vacsol PREMIUM GOLD is our highest grade of roofing batten, incorporating a unique and distinctive gold colouration that does not hide any potential defects that can be found within traditional battens
  • SR Timber Vacsol PREMIUM GOLD roof battens are produced in our own sawmill in Latvia, then imported as a finished product to our timber terminal on the Humber
  • Fully compliant to all relevant standards - BS 8417:2003 (Preservation of Timber) and BS 5534:Part 1:2003 (Code of Practice for Slating and Tiling)
  • Manufactured full to size in both thickness and depth
  • Available in both 25mm x 38mm and 25mm x 50mm profiles and lengths from 3.0m up to 5.4m, in 300mm increments
  • Produced from the highest grade, slow grown spruce (Whitewood) Picea abies - WPCA or pine (Redwood) Pinus sylvestris - PNSY, all supplied from either FSC or PEFC fully certified resources
  • Raw material is pre-graded prior to processing to enable an even higher finished grade of roofing batten
  • Visually piece graded by our own qualified staff to fully comply to BS 5534:Part 1:2003. This grading process is third party assessed and audited twice a year by Technology For Timber Ltd to ensure continued compliance to BS 5534
