Did you know if you are supplied with home grown battens, that in order for them to comply with new regs they should meet strict standards.
John Brash battens are manufactured from imported timber from
sustainable forests and guaranteed for 60 years against decay when
used above dpc level.
The imported timber used is 17% stronger in bending and stiffer
in stiffness than home-grown timber. It benefits from slow growth,
close tight annual growth rings, and a lengthy growth cycle. The
result is an inherently strong and quality final product that meets
the strict guidelines of BS5534: Part 1: 1997.
BS Code of Practice:
British Standard BS5534: Part 1: 1997 is the latest edition of the
Code of Practice on slating and tiling. It replaces the edition
first published in 1978, later updated in 1990.
The new British
Standard has significant commercial implications for everyone in
the construction industry involved with specifying, supplying or
fixing slating and tiling battens.
It has been established that:
Clearly marked and identified Type A species 25x38 can still be
used for single lap tile applications at 600mm centres
Minimum 25mm thickness should be used where possible for fixing at
400mm centres, in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations
where smaller sizes such as 19mm were previously used
As before, it is essential to use at least 25x50 for slating at
600mm centres
There is now NO minus tolerance in thickness
John Brash & Co Ltd has implemented a marking system for all
full to size 25x38 and 25x50 battens. Other sizes will be
identified as before
