What is a roof batten?

Table of Contents

A roof batten is a horizontal structural component installed across roof rafters or trusses to support and secure roofing materials (hal., tiles, metal sheets, or membranes). It ensures uniform load distribution, enhances weather resistance, and facilitates ventilation and drainage. Typically made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, battens must meet strict durability standards to withstand environmental stress.

At Xtra Metal Group, leveraging 30+ years of global engineering expertise, we deliver precision-engineered, custom solutions that align with international building codes, ensuring longevity and performance for residential and commercial projects alike.

As an aluminum ceiling & facade manufacturing engineer, I spent years immersed in design and production for things like exterior walls and ceilings. Seeing the gap between technical specs and practical understanding sparked my desire to share my knowledge clearly and make engineering materials accessible to more people.
