Developed in recognition of the need to replace a valuable resource, timber, in an application where the aesthetic qualities of timber are not required. The Barkston roofing batten and nailer profiles are the environmentally viable alternative for this high volume application.

Barkston battens will accept a nail and screw as easily as timber and the strength to hold the nail or screw is greater than that of timber. Readily available in convenient lengths the Barkston roofing batten and nailer profiles will reduce whole life costs and provide additional benefits for the construction industry.
