JB-RED Fully Graded Roofing Battens
JB-RED is our premier roofing & tiling batten and the first fully pre-graded roofing batten available to the roofing industry. This means there is no need to grade the battens on site thus saving time for the roofing contractor.
This batten meets the performance requirements of BS 5534:2003+A1:2010, and was developed following extensive work carried out with the BRE (Building Research Establishment).
JB-RED completely meets the NHBC requirements for fully graded roofing battens. Its distinctive red colour means that it is highly visible on site, therefore Local Authority Building Control, NHBC and other inspectors can see that high quality, pre-graded roofing battens have been used.
All JB-RED has full chain of custody (FSC or PEFC) credentials. View Roofing Batten Dimensions and Sizes.
