Lath refers to thin, narrow strips (traditionally wood, now often metal) used as a supporting base for plaster, roofing, or tiles. Its primary role is structural reinforcement. Batten, by contrast, are wider, thicker strips designed to cover joints between panels (e.g., siding or cladding) or serve as standalone exterior/interior decorative features. Battens enhance weather resistance, aesthetics, and dimensional stability.
