Roof Batten & Counter Batten
At Insulation Superstore, we’re proud to bring you a wide selection of high-quality roof batten, timber, and underlay for use with insulation projects and other general construction.
A roof batten, or roof timber batten, is a horizontal strip of wood fixed to the roof structure, providing support for roof tiles, shingles, or slates. Timber batten is used to ensure proper alignment, enhance ventilation by creating space for air circulation, and help distribute the load of the roofing material evenly, improving the roof's stability and durability.
A counter batten, or counter timber batten, is a vertical strip of wood installed over the building membrane and beneath the horizontal timber battens. It improves ventilation by creating vertical channels for air flow, enhances drainage by directing water to the eaves, and provides a stable base for attaching the horizontal battens, contributing to a robust and weather-resistant roofing system.
Timber batten and underlay has a variety of applications, such as in walls, floors, cold roofs, warm roofs, and many more.
You’ll find everything you need below, from lengths of treated counter batten, to roofing underlay, to galvanised round wire roofing batten nails. All from brands such as DuPont Tyvek, Cellecta, and our own brand Roofing Superstore. With our reliable nationwide delivery, you'll be ready to start your project in no time.
