Description
JB-RED is a high-quality roofing batten and the only UK factory-graded batten available to the roofing industry with BBA certification.
Manufactured from slow-grown, kiln-dried sideboards, JB Red sets the standard for graded origin patterns. JB Red completely meets the NHBC requirements for fully graded roofing battens. Its red colour means it is highly visible on site, therefore Local Authority Building Control, NHBC, and other inspectors can see that high-quality pre-graded and compliant battens have been used.
All JB Red has full chain of custody (FSC or PEFC) certification and is available in both 25 x 38mm and 5 x 50mm sizes.
