Each batten is graded to BS5534, ensuring it meets the strict structural and performance requirements for use in roofing construction across the UK.\nThe battens are pressure treated to enhance resistance against moisture, decay, and insect attack, making them durable and long-lasting even when exposed to the elements. They feature a sawn finish for excellent grip when fixing tiles or slates, while the kiln-drying process ensures a low and stable moisture content — increasing strength and minimising the risk of movement or distortion once installed.\nEach piece is supplied in either Blue or Yellow, allowing for easy on-site identification and compliance verification. Sold per metre, these battens are suitable for use in a range of roofing and general construction projects where certified, treated timber is required.\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6m\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e BS5534 Certified\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pressure Treated for durability and weather resistance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiln Dried for improved strength and stability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sawn finish for enhanced grip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied in Blue or Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold:\u003c\/strong\u003e Per metre\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roofing batten and general construction use\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat does BS5534 mean for roofing battens?\u003c\/h4\u003e BS5534 is the British Standard for roofing battens, confirming that the timber meets the strength, durability, and grading requirements needed for structural roof applications. It ensures reliability and safety during tile or slate installation. \u003ch4\u003eWhy are the battens coloured blue or yellow?\u003c\/h4\u003e The coloured treatment not only protects the timber but also allows for quick on-site identification. Both colours indicate BS5534 compliance and do not affect performance — the choice of colour is purely supplier-dependent. \u003ch4\u003eCan treated roofing battens be used for other applications?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes, while primarily designed for roofing, these battens can also be used for fencing, cladding, or general structural purposes where treated, graded timber is required. However, always ensure suitability for the intended load-bearing application.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck out our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/timber\"\u003etimber\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/collections\/timber-lengths\"\u003etimber lengths\u003c\/a\u003e available online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JJ Building Materials","offers":[{"title":"25 x 38mm","offer_id":51585208811862,"sku":"T00001322","price":2.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 x 50mm","offer_id":51585208844630,"sku":"T00001323","price":3.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/4509\/4998\/files\/treated-blueyellow-roofing-batten-bs5534-36m-7097211.jpg?v=1772656409","url":"https:\/\/jjbuildingmaterials.co.uk\/products\/treated-blueyellow-roofing-batten-bs5534-36m","provider":"JJ Building Materials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
